A bit about me

I am an interactive product designer and front end developer living in San Francisco, California. I have genuine passion for design, I love a good challenge, and I live to create beautiful and useful things. I'm addicted to learning and teaching others what I've learned.

I have over 7 years of experience with interactive product design, A/B test design, front end development, user testing, creative experiments, successes, and failures.

My skills

From ideation to launch, I have a broad set of skills that I can apply to any project. I've always worked on projects where I had to fill multiple roles, and I enjoy being able to code the designs I create. I'm "officially" a user experience designer, however I can also play the role of front end developer, visual designer, facilitator, and creative director. Here are a few of my skill sets:

UX & Interaction Design

Layouts, storyboards, wireframes, user flows, patterns, intuitive interfaces, and consistency based on user research and feedback. I design for human beings.

Mobile & Tablet Design

Experiences tailored for the mobile environment. I have designed and launched iOS and Android applications. I also won the StartupBus competition for WalkIn in 2011.

Visual Design & Illustration

The shiny wrapper around the experience. While design is an invisible problem solver, effective use of style is essential. Take a look at my work below for examples.

Front End Development

I can hand-code HTML5, CSS3, and a good bit of JavaScript/jQuery quickly, cleanly, and in a way that is cross-browser compatable. I LOVE to code.
