What I Bring to The Table
VISUAL EXPERTISE
Versatile in designing everything from clean and corporate to lighthearted and whimsical.
SYSTEMS-THINKING
Design is the whole experience; factoring in nuances and subtleties from a viewpoint of 50,000 feet.
DATA-DRIVEN
Reading between the lines and uncovering deeply-held values and motivations; it’s imperative to understand the people or group I design for as much as possible.
