I am a mentor, mentee, and doer. I am a believer in bettering my craft, learning, experiencing new things, and striving for more. Having had the opportunity to work with so many talented people throughout my career has helped me mold into the leader I am today.
I have a passion for art and technology and have been fortunate enough to use my love of user experiences to craft visual experiences for some of the greatest brands in the world. Google, Facebook, Nike, HBO, and Fair.
My fundamental belief is that a great product is always evolving and improving, evoking a memorable experience.
