Searching for the data necessary to deliver inspiring experiences

Designed experiences

I am a UX and graphic designer with more than a decade of experience in product design. Whether I'm crafting a sizzle reel for a treasure hunting show (background image) or designing an e-commerce checkout journey, I consistently prioritize the needs of users and the goals of the business. My design approach is driven by data and characterized by a methodical nature, with the aim of eliminating guesswork in the final deliverable.

Leisure

Learning

I am committed to learning technology. Every day, I engage with tutorials on Adobe's products, Unreal Engine, Cinema 4D, and cameras.

Adventuring

I have engaged with design through a range of roles that have led me to SCUBA dive, pilot helicopters, and even come face-to-face with an elephant! I thrive on embracing design challenges.

Relaxing

I really like digging into UX and business case studies. You might catch me spending a whole Saturday just relaxing and reading outside.

Methodology

I craft valuable and user-friendly experiences that have a significant impact on stakeholders. The designs I create are rooted in research and influenced by contemporary design principles. Drawing from my background in graphic design and my experience as a producer, shooter, and editor, I am adept at collaborating effectively with teams or working independently to deliver captivating experiences.
