Profile: https://flows.cv/briansekelsky

I'm an Interactive designer and developer with 5+ years of experience. I started out in frontend development, pivoted to graphic design/communications, and landed back in the middle as a user experience designer. I excel in going from idea -> design -> code, quickly.

I am currently working in Raleigh, NC but eager to take on a new role in Chicago, New York, or another large metro area.
