I first got online when the internet was still a playground for independent projects by creative tinkerers. GeoCities helped me build my first website.
Endless brute-force copying and pasting code helped me to learn HTML and CSS. Online design hobbyist forums and a cracked copy of Photoshop introduced me to the tools and concepts of good design and communication by trial and error.
Today, I'm a product designer who brings a multi-disciplinary background in product thinking, visual design, and front-end development to each project. This has helped me foster and strengthen collaboration between product, design, and engineering in all my roles.
I’m a champion for cities, urbanism, and transportation and have been fortunate to be able to marry that passion with my design craft.
I led product design for projects for New York City’s MTA, and the Port Authority of NY & NJ: my designs for platform information screens on the Subway and JFK AirTrain help millions of commuters in New York City daily.
I currently lead design at Via for Remix Scheduling, a platform that empowers planners to deliver high-quality transit networks and service where it’s needed most.
I live in New York City with my wife Sarah – we hope to call it our home for life.
In warmer weather you’ll find me gardening, hanging out on the local Open Street, or out and about by bike, probably headed to the Queens Night Market.
I’m always open to a conversation - find me on Bluesky, LinkedIn, or good old e-mail.
About Adam’s website
My website is coded by hand and designed in the browser. I try to find opportunities to use the latest wonderful capabilities of CSS in fun ways. The site is built on the static site generator 11ty for some lightweight templating.
No artificial intelligence was used in the creation of this website. Though I’m not an anti-AI absolutist, I'm only interested in how it can enable me to reach beyond my skillset, not how it can automate my existing craft.
