SUMMARY

• 15+ years of experience working independently and in teams creating award winning websites, applications, and print material across markets and demographics. I'm more than a designer, I'm an advocate for the user - I have a vision for truly great user experience and design.
• I take what the users want, need and expect from products and turn those expectations into artistry, both visually and usably. Inventive and quick-thinking, I work diligently for the user and client while staying on top of what is happening in the world of UI/UX and web design and how I can take a project to the next level.
• With an ability to convey complex information clearly, I work extremely well with nontechnical team members and clients. My personality and communication skills lend a gentle, friendly approach to communication that builds strong, trusting relationships for amazing products. I work with you, not against you, developing amazing products. XPERIENCE
