I build user experiences from kickoff to launch using a human-centered and agile design process.
With expertise in interaction and accessible design, I've worked on web and mobile apps for diverse user groups, including children, patients, and the elderly.
I design books, brands, and promotional collateral for digital and print media.
I've designed for education, small business, games, and animal welfare.
I illustrate with versatility in style and media, defining or following creative direction that speaks to diverse audiences.
I’ve made artwork for games, education, trade shows, and gallery installations.
