Resume

If you’re looking for someone with a more traditional background, I’m not the right fit. I am happy to admit that I don’t easily fit into any mold. I question everything and love to push on traditionally held beliefs. I thrive on finding those non-intuitive insights that allow a product to zig while everyone else is zagging and then turning those insights into great designs that are both viable and delightful.
