Fresh perspective from a seasoned creative.

I'm an experienced advertising Creative Director turned UX/UI designer with strong vector illustration skills and a passion for people who love to solve problems and tackle client issues together. I understand the business side of real world projects, as well as how to manage working relationships with other professionals, and enjoy collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams to rapidly solve challenges through user research, ideation, sketches, mock-ups, wireframes, and UI design for prototyping and testing. I just might be that creative unicorn you’ve been looking for.
