THAT BUILDS FOR

ABOUT ME

3 years ago I took a coding course because my wife (a software engineer) and I collectively decided it was a good fit for me. I could learn to code and work remotely (just like her) and we could travel with our dogs and live happily ever after.
Well it turned out that I was not a fan of coding. However, I discovered UXUI along the way and fell in love and the rest is history. It's a perfect fit for me as a visual learner. I also love solving problems, working with others, sharing ideas, and building things in a team environment.

At 42 I'm considered a dinosaur amongst my peers. However, this gives me an advantage when it comes to product design because I'm able to apply skills and knowledge I've gained throughout my years.
My 18 years of work experience and 14 years of art education give me an advantage. Whether it's learning advanced art techniques in grade school, serving in the Army, cooking in a hot kitchen, playing hockey, or working along-side orthopedic surgeons there was always a lesson learned that can be applied to web design.
While I wish I had discovered product design sooner. I can't change my past and I'm okay with that. I'm optimistic that between hard work, ambition, and dedication to my craft that there's a great future in store for me as a web designer. I strive to improve everyday refining my skills to become the best web designer I can be.
