I am a designer, not an artist. I enjoy taking a strategic approach to solve problems in a creative manner.
My idea of great product design combines a user centered approach with a strong and appealing visual language to create a consistent and delightful experience. I thrive when I'm involved in every aspect of the product process from high-level product strategy and vision, to the tactical design-develop-launch-iterate cycle. I believe in simple design, and every design decision should have reasons behind why they were chosen.
