About me

My experience in User Experience Design has been driven by my desire for personal growth and challenge. I’ve worked with enterprise tools and mobile games. With +7 years in Visual Design and +4 years in UX Design, my secret skill has always been to listen and learn every detail.

Over my career I’ve applied these three rules:

  1. Understand, listen, align, and grow your relationships with people you work with
  2. Deliver results and promises with consistency
  3. Never be afraid to go beyond your comfort zone

As I look to what's next, I'm hoping to find an organization that I can learn from, grow with, and contribute to. I know my broad set of skills can add great potential to any team and I am eager to share.
