Quirky? Yes, I have been known to walk around the office without shoes on and I like to pretend like I’m Tom Cruise in the movie, Risky Business. I slide from side to side and play air guitar in front of the bathroom mirror. In general, I have fun with life. I also enjoy things that many people do not, like data. I also like to read and I love to learn…especially if it will help improve myself or my work process.

But enough about my quirks; what you want to know about me is what I can do for you and your UX/UI team and/or project. Everything from the concept’s start to the point I hand things off to the development team. I have a bit of coding knowledge under my belt, but I use it primarily as a knowledge base to speak intelligently with developers and IT specialists. I also use it to quickly put together dynamic wireframes and simple prototypes when needed.

I have a background in print and digital design and I’m fascinated by marketing. I even went back to school and got an MBA in it.

Anyone can make a pretty picture, but is it effective? I seek to work and design in a way that answers that question with a loud YES!
