about me

hello

I'M ADAM

I'm the Founder & CEO of Academy and a seasoned Design Leader with a background that includes Head of Design/UX at TIME Magazine, AKQA, B-reel, and AT&T AdWorks Lab.

I have worked with clients like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Verizon, Wish and many more.  

My humble brag is that I have won a few awards on Awwwards, The FWA, and TechCrunch.

I also advise companies on scaling their design practices, write about all things UX, speak at conferences, and host the How We Scaled It for Design Teams podcast.
