AT WORK

I am a natural empath that enjoys creating customer-centered experiences. The philosophy “Don’t make me think!” is very important to me while I am designing. It is crucial that the user doesn’t have to read a huge manual in order to use an application. 

AT HOME

I have a 3 year old son and am married to my best friend. We enjoy playing video games on Steam, watching movies, and exercising together. I also am into writing so have been featured in several popular blogs.
