I'm passionate about great design, compelling brand experiences, and making technology accessible to everyone.

Skills
Design
I've done everything from brand identity, consumer product packaging, sportswear, promotional videos, software design - if you can put a design on it, I've done it.

Management
I've managed large teams across multiple disciplines and worked with the highest levels of management to support and achieve goals.
UI/UX
The heart of every experience. Product flows, user acquisition analysis, usability research - the nuts and bolts of the product design process.

I started my career as an illustrator and still continue to develop my skills both personally and professionally.
