Personal
I am a senior level designer with over 10 years of experience. I have been a manager, traffic controller for a team of five designers, and created/implemented new processes to optimize team efficiency.
I pride myself on being able to organize complex information into a digestible form. I approach every design challenge with the same four principled approach. C.R.A.P. Contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. Whether I’m laying out an ebook or building a bench I seek out a solution that adheres to these four basic principles. I am a problem solver at heart. It is this trait that is the foundation of my work ethic and drives my dedication to craftsmanship.
Outside of work I can usually be found tinkering on my 100 year old house or over at the community center shooting hoops with the local youth.
