As a designer, I primarily work with digital/ interactive media. My main platform is web based using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Secondary to the web is application-driven software running on iOS and Android, along with computer software running on macOS and Windows. Because most of my work reloves around applications and the web, I use prototyping and design software that is easily handed off to development.

As a designer that focuses on both design and development, a lot of my work and research revolves around advancement of technology and how it will affect design and user interactions. I am very interested in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and IOTs affecting daily user flow. My design always focuses on what concepts can keep the work strategic. My style is very modern, clean, and provides slick useability. Not only does my design focus on stay advance in this field but also the tools I use reflect this. I have a diverse use I always pride myself on hard work and the ability to produces quality work.

More about me…

Traveling is my passion, and making "friends" along the way is the best part of it. So far, I’ve befriended over 24 dogs and 10 cats across three continents.

Some people call me the “wild spirit who hiked to Everest” or the “ The runner that runs almost 10+miles everyday for fun.”

But amidst all the adventure, nothing beats the joy of unwinding with a puzzle while enjoying the timeless humor of the Golden Girls.
