Bio

I am a UX/UI and product designer who specializes in creating clean, friendly user interfaces for Web, Mobile and TV. I have over seven years of experience and have worked on a broad range of award-winning products.

As a designer who often implements my own work, I have a strong understanding of the constraints of any given project, and I work hard to produce products that both push the creative envelope and are technically feasible.

I’ve worked in both product-driven and engineering-centric groups, and enjoy speaking their respective languages. I pride myself on attention to detail, creative problem solving and an insatiable desire to learn.
