WHAT I DO

I'm a visual designer and frontend engineer based in Portland, Oregon. I've spent over a decade as a visual designer working with Fortune 500 companies like IBM, Amazon, HP and Dell. I started teaching myself web development as a hobby, eventually weaving what I've learned into my professional career. This gives me a unique perspective and skill set that covers design and software engineering.

HOW I WORK

My design philosophy leans on simplicity: as few clicks as possible, need-to-know information first, and a "less but better" approach. Every decision comes back to the question "Does this ultimately support the user?"

HOW I UNWIND

When I'm not at a screen, I'm running my small art business Black Zodiac Prints or fixing up my 1904 farmhouse in Southeast Portland, Oregon.
