Very nice to meet you,

I’m a software designer living and working in Austin, Texas. My work lies somewhere at the intersection of UX, Strategy and Visualization, and I’m working to better these skills every day to bring real problem solving to great projects.

Design Minded
—

When I found the intersection of technology and creativity, I never looked back.

My background as a classically trained designer is at the core of my work, an unsatisfiable search to find the right solution to any problem.

UX Expertise
—

My User Experience expertise allows me to facilitate design in real world scenarios.

My training in UX processes allows me to integrate practical, user-driven, research-backed solution development into a project, and achieve reliable, repeatable results.

Product Focused
—

Design is only as good as its ability to integrate with a business.

By working closely on cross-functional teams from large enterprises to nimble start ups, my priority is not just to design in a silo, but to bring it to the table as an element of measurable business success.

Industry Experience
—

Working with companies that deal in complex domains gives me the industry knowledge and literacy that many designers ignore.

I aim to understand industry trends and how they relate to design opportunities.

Practical Development Skills
—

I make it a habit to get the app running
on my laptop.

I’m proficient in HTML, CSS, GIT and comfortable enough with frameworks like React and Ember to commit code that can take designs the last 10% to the finish line.

Results Driven
—

As I grow as a designer, I increasingly focus on how important it is to measure the ROI of a UX investment.

I pride myself in the ability to use numbers-driven research and quantifiable metrics to lead and measure the success of a project.
