About me

 

Hi, I’m Corey

Good design is universal. Whether it's applied to technology, instruction, product or making lives easier, I strive to bring a clean sense of style and an eye for detail to all of my work. My experience across a variety of industries has given me the opportunity to adapt and refine my vision to new situations and new challenges, and made me a stronger designer. 

In 2013, I co-founded the movement for Boston’s 2024 Summer Olympic bid. Armed with just an idea, I helped register the Boston 2024 Organizing Committee as a non-profit organization, encouraging business leaders and city officials to explore the possibility of bringing the Olympics to Boston. The bid didn’t succeed, but it sparked important conversations about the city’s future. I learned a lot through the process—how to grow from critique, how bold ideas can move the needle, and how listening to all voices is the only way Boston will truly thrive.

In 2017, inspired by President Obama’s farewell speech urging people to "grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office," I did just that. I wasn’t a seasoned policy-maker, but politics, to me, has always been about people—understanding their needs and working together to find solutions. As a designer, I saw public service as a new design challenge: applying creativity, empathy, and good design thinking to reimagine how we solve civic problems.

I’m a designer. I love solving problems. And I love Boston. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the fear of failure should never hold you back from thinking big. So, let’s think big together.
