I'M A
THAT BUILDS FOR

ABOUT ME
Wilson(pictured left) Pepper (pictured right)
Trying to venture into a new career field I took a coding course in 2023. My wife (a software engineer) and I collectively decided coding could be a good fit for me. I could work remotely and have more flexibility to go on adventures with our dogs (Wilson and Pepper).
Well it turned out that I was not a fan of coding. However, I discovered UXUI along the way and decided web design is a much better fit for me. I'm a visual learner that also loves solving problems. I find working with others, sharing ideas, and building things in a team environment very rewarding.

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.
With 18 years of work experience and 14 years of art education I have 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 I gained many skills 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.
