UI Designer, Illustrator
I am a designer with 20 plus years of graphic design, UI/UX design, and illustration. It was at an early age was interested in drawing, art, graphic design, and comics. Growing up in Southern California, I was influenced by skateboarding magazines like Thrasher and the art that was designed for Tony Hawk, Billabong, Quicksilver. It inspired me to look at logos and designs. The pages of Nintendo Power, Marvel, DC inspired me to draw and understand shape and form.
 
After graduating college with an art degree, I began working with interactive CDs using Photoshop and Macromedia Director. When the industry changed, I changed with it by learning and creating flash animated sites. I have adapted and grown as a designer working and learning all aspects of design including logos, print , website design and email design. I found myself moving out of sunny California to work at Thermofisher Scientific where I was able to work with an amazing group of designers and a global brand that
