About
I've loved making things since childhood - in school I was typically doodling instead of taking notes. I accidentally took a graphic design class in high school and quickly fell in love with using photoshop to make posters. This led me to studying design in college.
Since then I have been lucky to have the opportunity to work on many interesting projects with and for many talented people both freelancing and working for an agency. I am always curious to learn new tools and abilities to integrate into my practice some of these include coding, motion design, and art direction. I believe this array of experience and skills helps me excel in product design which often requires a broad perspective and weaves together many disciplines.
