This is a portfolio site. It might look a little messy, but design, development, usability testing, and iterating is often a little messy.

Good stuff in one package!

About Me

A quick snippet about me.

Hey, friends!

I've been doing this for over 15 years and continuously learning from both success and failure. Empathy? Yep! Usability testing? Yep! Aligning business and customer goals? You know it!

It all started with a digital training tutorial for a Pepsi bottling plant. I designed the UI in Photoshop (Figma didn't exist yet) and coded the software with Lingo using Macromedia Director. Didn' I say I've been doing this for a long time? I've done product design for years until rediscovering my love for coding, now I do both.

I've worked with startups, co-founded a startup, raised angel investments, and worked with agencies. These experiences taught me that successfull products result from teams with no egos where creative contributions come from everyone.
