A LIL ABOUT ME
I am a Design Director, Designer and Innovator with a strong passion for data driven design, user research and creative direction.
My career began in New York City, where most of my focus was art directing and designing brand campaigns around the city.
During my years in the big apple I've had the pleasure to work with some great brands including MTV, Nautica, Michael Kors and many more.
Over the past decade I have been working with brands and products throughout California focusing on creating fun, intuitive, unique
and effective user experiences. I identify ways for brands and products to better connect with their customers by constantly listening
to their users and consistently analyzing data.
Lastly I have a passion for design mentorship and continuous improvement that includes areas such as
optimizing workflows, communication, education, reporting and customer management.
