I am a multi-disciplinary UI/UX and Product Designer. I also do Brand Identities, Animation, Packaging Design, VR Game Development, 3D Modeling, Illustration, and Industrial Design.

I am a problem solver, I like making complicated things work better. Whether I am designing a physical product or a digital one, I see everything the user has to interact with as a user interface; a handle, a button, a touch screen, a website, or an app. The user’s experience with any of those things is important to me.

When I’m not obsessing over UI/UX, I ride horses, study ergonomics, and travel. As a lifelong learner I keep taking classes, can’t seem to stop myself, and I use travel to discover how other designers solve problems.
