Motivated by a need to craft great experiences that honor content across all devices and viewports I am a true product of the time we live in—the digital age. I have a background in visual design with the coding skills to boot. I feel my duty goes far beyond elegant typography and fine tuned grid systems. My job foremost is to align project goals with the experiences I create.
