WHO I AM

ABOUT ME

I'm an award-winning designer and creative thinker with over 10 years of experience across a variety of applications, including traditional, environmental, digital, and mobile. I am responsible for bringing thought-driven solutions to life for the development of innovative user experiences. I am detail-oriented with an analytical approach to my design process. My specialties include product design, system design, information design, design ops, strategy, and brand development. I have worked with clients in financial services, public utility services, healthcare, and tradeshow productions.

On a more personal note, I like my coffee black, my tea hot, and my wine red. I’m "Team Oxford Comma". I love my dog, crisp mountain air, Clemson football, and Cubs baseball.
