I'm a Joe of all trades
I started my career as a classically trained artist. This means I draw, I paint and I sculpt. Eventually I learned to draw with a mouse. That was also when I learned that you should never draw with a mouse. Undeterred, I began learning about other kinds of digital art such as 3D modeling and animation. Not long after I was editing video and doing post production work in After Effects. Around this time my love for gaming collided with the release of Flash. I spent several years designing, animating and coding Flash Ad Banners, websites and games. From around 2005 to 2012, I focused my energy on pure design work. I also began to heavily invest my time in studying User Experience Design where I learned about A/B testing, journey maps, building personas, flow chart development and wireframe design. By 2013 I started to want to learn how to code using JavaScript. Fast forward to the present – I'm a senior UX designer and a full stack engineer capable of delivering apps and websites from inception to design and right on through to development. The apps I've created generate $15M of revenue annually and are utilized by over 100,000 customers.
Here are some of my strengths:
- Communication, Leadership, Management and Pitch Presentations
- Creative Direction and UX/UI Design
- Mobile and Responsive Design
- Full Stack Engineering with expertise in Front-end Application Design
