About Me

I'm a UI/UX Designer + Developer who loves to design and code modern interfaces. I've been studying design and development since 2014, and have both a Bachelor's in Visual Communication Technology and an Associate's in Web Design. I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio, and I moved to Portland, Oregon in 2021. I'm passionate about providing best-in-class user interface, no matter the industry or application. I love coffee, sushi, music, technology, gaming, Japan, fashion, standup comedy and more. Over time, I hope to help make the world a better place and help solve problems that the world faces via my expertise as a creative technologist.

Figma

My primary design tool. I use Figma daily to prototype interfaces, create design systems, and hand off assets for development.

Adobe Creative Cloud

Beyond Figma, I'm proficient in the Adobe suite, utilizing Photoshop for image editing, Premiere for video, and Illustrator for vector graphics.

The essential foundation I use to craft responsive, accessible, and pixel-perfect web interfaces.

JavaScript

The engine behind the interactive web. I use JS to handle application logic, dynamic content, and seamless user interactions.

GSAP

My go-to library for creating fluid, high-performance animations that bring static interfaces to life.

three.js

A powerful tool I use to render immersive 3D visuals and WebGL experiences directly in the browser.

Vue.js

A versatile framework I love for building scalable, reactive single-page applications and reusable components.

Git

Essential for version control, allowing me to manage code history and collaborate efficiently on complex projects.

Node / NPM

Used extensively to manage dependencies, build efficient backend services, and power modern development pipelines.

Vite

My preferred build tool for its lightning-fast development server and optimized production bundling.

AEM & Adobe Commerce

I build scalable enterprise solutions using Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) for content and Adobe Commerce for e-commerce.

Shopify & Wordpress

Flexible CMS platforms I leverage to integrate robust content management and e-commerce features into web projects.
