ABOUT ME

Traverse City, MI

My aim as a UX designer is to always deliver an intuitive and delightful experience that meets the needs and exceeds the expectations of anyone who encounters it. My goal has been, and always will be, to create things that positively impact the world by design. I strive to incorporate every potential stakeholder’s specific needs throughout each step in the design process in order to systematically create something that is not only usable but actually enjoyable for everyone who uses it.

I really enjoy making all sorts of things – websites, apps, longboards, music or whatever catches my interest. I will do whatever it takes to learn the particular set of skills I need in order to make whatever I'm working on not only work well, but exceed all expectations. My pursuit of focused creativity has led me down many unexpected paths, but most importantly, it has exposed me to the joy and sense of satisfaction of creating.

When I’m not creating things at my computer, I love spending time outside longboarding, slacklining, or sailing! I also really enjoy playing my guitar, piano or synthesizer and listening to podcasts.
