I am a curious problem solver, thinker, and doer.

Being a UX designer allows me to delve deeper into the needs of the user/customer through the research process and thus create more meaningful experiences. I have practiced user-centered design way before I knew what UX is. During that time I have also become an evangelist for a practical design. Almost a decade working as a branding designer and art director gives me a solid visual, hierarchical, and typographical design foundation to create a well-rounded product or experience. 

I have had the privilege to work in a variety of companies and non-profit projects through which I learned design agility and understanding for people from different walks of life.

• OwnBackup, FCB Health, Unicef, Panasonic
• US Fish and Wildlife, Conserve Wildlife NJ
• Hawaii Albatross network

I love collaborating with a team of creators who appreciate the power of divergent ideas.

Because of my ongoing professional and volunteer involvement with endangered species, I value sustainability and admire companies that consider our collective future in their product development and daily business practices.

My other passion is photography. All the landscape and wildlife images on this website are created by me.
