I'm a designer based in Minneapolis, MN, specializing in digital design and brand creation. When I'm not working, you can find me going for a run, eating chicken wings, or screaming at my TV (aka, cheering on the Vikings).
Work Experience

UI/UX Designer
As a part of the creative team, I helped develop user interface and user experience designs for client websites and mobile applications. Most of my projects required multiple concepts, strict deadlines; and direct communication with the client, such as weekly check-ins and milestone presentations.
