Quick facts
what I make
I specialize in digital and creative experiences with a focus on UX/UI design and filmmaking.
drive to design
I work to understand my users, create intuitive and delightful experiences, and combine my knowledge of psychology and people to make everything work. I have an extensive background in user research, physical prototyping, digital prototyping, and design. I can translate your business needs into tangible solutions.
location
I am currently Boston and Chicago based, but would go anywhere for the right opportunity.
my past experience
I have owned and operated my own filmmaking company generating videos to convey a story. I treat the viewer and the user the same, by understanding and anticipating their goals of my video or my interface. I have worked primarily with user interfaces, designing and testing cutting-edge products, and customer relationship management software.
my interests
I love creating projects that delight users. Whether that’s a good design or a beautiful video, I am happy to make it.
