The best way to learn about my work is to visit www.willkrause.com, or send me an e-mail at williambriankrause@gmail.com Arriving in San Francisco in 2013 after a dozen years freelancing in New York City, I've been working on some exciting User Experience design projects. Currently, I'm the Interactive Exhibit Designer at the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose, as well as UX Designer at Design Caffeine, where I've used my design skills on over a dozen web and mobile design projects, with several clients in the Bay Area and elsewhere around the world.

In New York City, I designed graphics and interactive props for Nickelodeon, MTV, and was twice-nominated for an Emmy Award for my work at Sesame Street. Let me know if you would like to add me to your design team - and please take a gander at my portfolio - you'll see that I have quite an array of useful skills.
