Design brings the core to the surface. While the final product can only be interacted with at a superficial level, the roots go much deeper.

A product designer sits between the needs of the user and the business that serves them. My job is to align those potentially disparate desires into one cohesive, intuitive solution that satisfies both parties. My favorite part of my work is synthesizing many voices into a final design that achieves the most complex thing in the world — simplicity.

I am attracted to products/projects that better people's everyday lives. Every day is comprised of millions of tiny, mundane moments. I want to work with people that aspire to simplify, amplify, or in any way make those moments meaningful.

While I specialize in digital media, I was classically trained. What I've learned is that every media influences and builds upon another. Over the course of my career, I hope to continue to expand upon my artistic arsenal. Projects that stretch me, and require growth, are the ones that excite me most.
