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, crypto/blockchain, 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 + Adobe XD
I have many years of experience with leading UI Design
software. Figma/XD allow me to quickly design and prototype
interfaces and pages.
Adobe Creative Cloud
I use other Adobe software too, including Photoshop for image
work, Illustrator for SVG/vector graphics, Premiere for video,
and more.
HTML + SCSS
I'm prideful in being advanced in HTML+SCSS. It's one of my
strongest skills and allows me to make my designs a reality
in-browser, down to the pixel.
JavaScript
JavaScript allows me to add dynamic content, animation,
transitions, smooth-scrolling and so much more.
Vue.js
Vue is currently my preferred JavaScript framework. It allows
for building modern web apps in a clean way.
GSAP
This is the flagship JavaScript animation library, used for
pretty much anything that moves or animates in a cool way.
three.js
Three.js is what I use to integrate WebGL onto webpages, which
is 3D and particle/fx content & visuals.
Git
I'm experienced with Git for version control, collaboration
and incremental enhancement of websites and applications.
Node/NPM
I use Node & NPM to rapidly build sites and applications. It
allows you to use CLI commands to swifty install modular
libraries to give a project superpowers fast.
Webpack + Vite
These are my preferred technologies for module bundling and
dev tooling. They allow for a more rapid developer experience.
CraftCMS + Wordpress
The CMS's I use most often to integrate admin dashboards and
asset/post management to a web project.
Magento
I have plenty of experience with Magento, Adobe's commerce
platform for larger e-commerce websites.
