What I Do

These are my superpowers:

Research, Facilitation & Service Design

I’ve facilitated several design thinking activities with designers, engineers, executives and the like. I lead UX research efforts from test planning to results and org-wide presentation using both Quantitative and Qualitative research techniques.

Visual & Interaction Design

As a pixel perfect perfectionist and a typography nerd, I thrive creating delightful and innovative interfaces that put the user first. I collaborate with engineering to make delightful, yet feasible experiences. I am also a self taught motion designer.

Brand & Illustration

From good ol’ pen and paper to the super fancy Wacom screen, I design icons, hand-lettered graphics and other visual elements to complement any interface. I also illustrate storyboards for new product concepts and user research.
