I'm a Designer with 10+ years experience, 4 of them creating interfaces of digital products. I consider myself a generalist with strong visual design skills who also feel comfortable running usability research and prototyping with varying levels of fidelity.
I love all things digital! I can create websites from start to finish using HTML, CSS and some Javascript chops, but I also enjoy creating brands for new ventures, and doing hand lettering.
10 years of experience as on-site designer, freelancer, and senior designer in digital agencies, has allowed me to develop a user-centric approach to launch products, collaborate strongly within cross-functional teams and meet business objectives.
