Designer of pixeled experiences large and small. I have an affinity for simple, clean interfaces and get there by way of sketching, pixel-pushing and plenty of coffee.
As mobile/web designer, user experience expert, aspiring product strategist, and a "know enough to be dangerous" front-end developer I'm inspired by technology and where it's going.
