about me
I am a UX designer and writer with a simple philosophy, I believe design can change the world. As a rational optimist I am focused on learning the ‘why’ of everything and working to solve the puzzles of everyday life for humanity. I know greater collective good can come from design and technology and I want to take us there.
As a designer with a background in business development and operations I enjoy creating products that contribute to the bottom line while first following the ideology of people over profit. I maintain that when a product of truth is created, the user will come and monetization will follow. With a design mantra of ease, I know that with ethical, accessible, simple and easy design spaces can be revolutionized.
Beyond design, I am a runner, there are never enough start lines; and an avid reader, there is never enough information to devour. I have a firm belief that it is of utmost importance to always be a beginner at something. I spend time every day with myself in a mental download or meditation which contributes to my continual engagement of the process of life.
