Biography
I care about the details and consider the motion design of affordances to be crucial in creating effective, intuitive interfaces. I like prototyping - it helps me think through interaction models and new possibilities. I also enjoy researching, as I am always learning new aspects of humanity that surprise and enlighten my design strategy.
I have experience working with teams to brainstorm and whiteboard concepts. I can create wireframes at varying levels of fidelity, and enjoy prototyping ideas (whether rapid or conventional). I have some front-end coding experience and enjoy working with devs to build ideas out.
I really love photography, urban hiking, and making beef and vegan jerky (feelgoodjerky.com). I enjoy seeing things from a fresh perspective and staying curious!
