Every day I get to collaborate with disciplines inside and outside design to take on dynamic problems. Whether it is a marketing campaign, a branding exercise, or a web tool, you always need to be focused on creating a meaningful user experience. Design should make things pretty always be thinking about how to tranform user pain into solutions that feel effortless. I am a passionately curious about the rapidly changing world around us and how human-centric design can challenge the status-que to create a better future.
