bFlat Creative
Rio Rancho, NM, USAHello, and welcome to my portfolio! I invite you to take a look around. Feel free to ask me any questions! I am an all-around creative who loves UI and UX design, as well as product design, branding, and photography. Building things is fun too.
As a designer I aim to create beautiful products that people thoroughly enjoy to view and use. I plan to accomplish this by paying the most attention to minute details and designing with humans in mind.
