Amsterdam, Netherlands
I am a web and UX designer living in Holland with experience in interactive, web and print design as well as web development.

I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Oregon State University and four years of industry experience. I have technical skills in the Adobe Suite of programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc.) HTML, CSS, Content Management Systems such as Wordpress and Drupal, and experience with designing PowerPoint presentations.

Experienced in creating and interpreting user tests with A/B and multi-variable testing, and using results to power data driven, purposeful design.

I have an immense passion for design and love to stay up to date with the latest technologies and trends. I also LOVE learning new skills and experimenting with new concepts and ideas.
