What I Do

User Interface Design

One of my favorite quotes is, “Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent.” ~ Joe Sparano, graphic designer for Oxide Design Co. If you are designing to be noticed, you have the wrong idea.

Developer

I have been a web developer for major, international brands. This knowledge helps me in the creation of the interface and experience for websites and applications. It allows me to consider the complete lifecycle and compromise where necessary.

Figma

Using tools like Figma, I create designs for the user interface and experience. Visual design and dynamic prototyping.

User Experience Design

A vast field of processes and data, UX can be as simple as sorting cards to determine the best navigation taxonomy. I'm of the opinion that even some UX research is better than none.
