Hi, I’m Cam.▊
I’ve been making internets for going on 20 years. Over that time, I’ve worn many hats, and now think of myself as a square-shaped contributor: I’ve been an executive-level product manager, I’ve run UX/UI teams, established a graphic design and branding firm, been an independant contributor on cross-functional tech teams, and led business strategy units. Lately, I’ve been tapped to drive deep consulting engagements across various industries and to build out client-facing, scaleable agentic AI solutions. I strongly believe that new products and technologies should grant people new superpowers.
Experience
Headed the Experience Design discipline for Dentsu North America and later moved to Merkle, Inc. to co-develop an agentic-AI-powered Design Engineering practice. Collaborated with Microsoft Copilot, AWS Bedrock, and Google Vertex teams to train our people, run hackathons, and deploy scalable internal and client-facing agentic AI solutions. Our team was highlighted at the 2023 Microsoft Build Keynote. After helping establish the practice, I co-headed a team of 200+ designers, strategists, data analysts, and software engineers focusing on digital experiences and business transformation.
