About
I’m a designer passionate about user experience, typography, and product thinking. I view myself as a Gestaltingenieur solving problems for the user and fostering success for the business from the intersection of design and technology.
Outside work, I’m an avid photographer carrying my camera wherever I go and documenting the fleeing moments in life. I also enjoy technical (and nerdy) conversations about photo gear and my “dream kit.”
