Work

I have over 6 years of experience crafting experiences and interfaces of the future. I started my career as a front-end web developer, but eventually focused on HCI, UX, and UI design. I still commit code from time to time, and believe that designers should code their own prototypes/designs to become a truly effective and convincing communicator.
