About.

I’m Ced — a freelance digital product and website designer with over 15 years of experience. I care a lot about using design for positive impact. Currently based in San Diego and Toronto, Canada.
‍

Over my career I've been a creative director, designer, founder, entrepreneur, and author. I've run the design firm consultancy SAT for over a decade. Now I share as much as I can to create better opportunities for people who wouldn’t have them otherwise. I’ve also worked with some pretty awesome brands like NBA, Microsoft and Forbes.

Currently, I'm creating a private travel community with friends and building Mastering Design OKRs . Learn more about me.
