Core
Core pieces of who I am that provide lots of meaning to my life and guide decisions I make everyday.
1
Ask More
I’m obsessed with asking questions and challenging things that look or feel set in stone. Systems and experiences need to be thoughtfully considered from many perspectives to make them stronger.
2
Systematic Minimalism
I’m always trying to simplify and craft systems that are focused and enjoyable. Minimal systems understand what they need to create phenomenal experiences.
3
Thoughtful Movement
I really love it when life keeps moving, flowing, changing, and evolving! I also love to slow down and be thoughtful about what I’m supporting and filling my life with.
Design Magic
Experience Designer obsessed with understanding systems deeply so that I can know how and when to work in them or break them apart. Most interested in mobile computing (especially Android). I also design for responsive web and iOS and love figuring out how to support an experience across devices.
