My Expertise

User Experience Design

Before UX was a thing, it was just user experience. “Isn’t that the same?” you may think. No, it’s not. Today the blended term has been shaped to connote certain methods, processes, and methodologies. However, a designer cannot directly design the internal experience the user experiences. Experience is subjective. But, there are many heuristics that I use in order to lead to the desired experience.

User Interface Design

A user interface is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it’s not that good. A user interface designer makes technology easy and intuitive for people to use. User interface designers work on the areas where users directly interact with the product. I believe there are countless ways to design a webpage. Like the experience, the design is subjective. It’s important to have evidence-based design to have purpose and reason for why you designed it that way.

Data Visualization

The ability to communicate information clearly and efficiently to users is a skillset I have honed in the past few years. Working in big data has made it necessary for me to continuously push the envelope in this realm of design.


6 years

Web Development

Should a designer grasp the knowledge of how to build out their own designs? I believe so! CSS, SASS, LESS, and HTML, are the languages that allow me to build pixel perfect web pages. I feel confident in slicing up most any designs and building it out to be fully responsive and cross-browser compatible.


10+ years

Graphic Design

Once a printmaker and oil painter, now a digital artist, its been important to hold on to many of the same principles I’ve practiced as a young artist. Form, color, perspective, and space, now mix in a little illustration and typography, its what the product manager ordered.


5 years

Responsive Web Design & Dev

With so many different devices, gadgets and gizmos, screen sizes come in all shapes and sizes. Design is meant to adapt for better viewing and experience for the user. Responsive web design is a must for the modern-day designer. Having strong CSS and HTML skills allows me to have a better understanding of responsive design.


5 years

Browser Testing & QA

Experienced and committed to testing the UI with high quality standards in mind with close attention to the user experience. I am well-versed in Browserstack and Applitools to ensure the application behaves across all the tested browsers. I put emphasis on the aesthetics so that margins are correctly aligned within the grid and closely resemble the mock-up while being pixel perfect.


10+ years

Illustration

Drawing and illustrating is one of my favorite pastimes. I have studied fine art and am an oil painter in my leisure time. I’ve been using Illustrator since college in 2001. Over the last decade I’ve designed dozens of logos. I get excited at the opportunity to create custom icons as a part of the user interface process. I’m a big fan and prolific user of SVGs.


7 years

Product Development

My experience in software and website development has given me priceless opportunities to work directly with CEOs, CMOs, CTOs, and Directors of product. Partnering with top level executives and product managers has taught me so much about market value, interdisciplinary collaboration and translating the vision of others in my design.
