Hi,

I’m Carey.

Digital product designer.

Board game thinker.

Dork.

What’s board game thinking?

It’s using the language of board games to simplify business domains into rules, objects, and actions.


And presenting those ecosystems in ways that people can easily understand to meet their needs.


I use board game thinking to help users win.

My skill spread from 7+ years of digital product design.

I’ve helped launch products, engage audiences, and grow businesses in a variety of domains:

Proprietary enterprise apps

Web and native, for Apple’s global workforce

B2B SaaS apps

Real estate, product branding, and impact measurement.

B2C apps

Restaurant dining, pet care, and HVAC maintenance.

This variety has helped me develop a keen sense for understanding and creating within complex ecosystems.

Enough high-level stuff.

Let’s get to some specific examples:
