Hi,

I make

A designer, full-stack developer, and teacher with a passion for solving problems. I work with individuals, teams, and organizations to identify pain points and implement effective & creative solutions.

I have a deep interest in UI & UX design and strive to create valuable, accessible experiences. I recognize the importance of crafting an identity consistent with brand strategy and design guidelines - an approach I bring to all projects. I also have an intense relationship with the Oxford comma.
