Driven by curiosity & a desire to make things work better.

Naturally curious and thrives on knowing how everything works. I ask a lot of questions, do extensive research, and consider all aspects of what I'm making and who I'm making it for.

I'm adaptable to using any tech, workflow, strategies, etc. If I can be taught or self-learn, I'll pick it up. Since I can learn new things at amazing speeds I’m always looking to expand my knowledge through online learning, classes, going to conferences, or reading articles.

A UI/UX designer and front-end developer who creates products that are user-oriented, work better, and easier to navigate. “Design is more then making it pretty” — is my driving principle. It's the culmination of creation and execution of a solution; understanding your audience; and critical thinking to solve problems. This combination of thought and execution is what I find most enjoyable and rewarding with design and development.

In my spare time I spread my attention across many things. I'm extremely behind on watching Netflix shows. An avid reader with a ever-growing backlog of books, I keep buying but don't read them. Always trying to get through my game collection for the PS4 and Switch, currently heavily involved in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Animal Crossing New Horizon.
