Product Design Expert

An abstract thinker, inventor, and inquisitor of what could be. With 10+ years in interactive design for mobile and web, I am an expert in designing the big picture, simplifying the complex, inventing new interaction models, solving for accessibility, and visualizing a cohesive customer experience.
