My love for digital design began back in high school when I started transitioning from hand-drawn art to digital creations. I’ve since spent the last 20 years learning that there is more to digital design than just a pretty picture.
The first half of my career was spent working the front part of the front end experience while the second half has revolved around how people and experience play a part. My skill set allows me to research, plan, design, test, and build a website or interface that not only looks great but works intuitively and provides an exceptional experience from start to finish.
