About me
About me
Generalist in experience, specialist in application
I'm an on-the-ground worker turned designer, powered by a desire to make real change for the people that need it most. My perspective channels 15 years of people-centric work into a thoughtful approach to design that begins with the most critical element - humanity.

Bridging the digital-physical experience gap in products
My projects almost entirely share one critical element: transforming digital experiences that accompany irreplaceably physical elements. I explore the boundary between technology and reality, creating experiences that utilize the best of both.

Growth-seeker with a drive for excellence
I have an extensive record of seeking to continuously better myself. My ability to balance, prioritize, and produce world-class results shines through in everything I do. I lead from the front and seek growth in any direction possible. I'm not happy with anything less than the best possible outcome.
