For the last eight years, I’ve been a UX/Product designer. But before that, I was primarily a visual designer and illustrator. Combining those skill sets has allowed me to design everything from branding, marketing and informational sites, to working with product teams to produce applications on web and mobile.

Alongside a product team and parallel to developers. Working with product owners and managers gives me the proximity to learn and understand the product/feature that needs to be produced. This proximity also tightens the communication loop between product and design, allowing all parties to quickly and efficiently build or pivot.

I love how design makes me think. I love how being a designer allows me to interact with and learn from so many types of people. I love how at the beginning of a new project you have no idea what the end result will be, but by trusting and pursuing the right parameters you’ll end up with something quite lovely.
