About Me
The man behind the mustache
My journey started at Chapman University, where my passion for storytelling led me to graduate with honors in film production. Since then I’ve worked in various fields, led by my drive to solve problems and find innovative solutions.
Now, I'm excited to channel this quest for answers into UX/UI design, striving to craft engaging and user-friendly experiences. Those who have worked with me say that I am a strong leader with excellent communication skills. I pay great attention to detail and always look for ways to elevate a project to the next level.
I currently reside in Portland, Oregon with my wonderful family and two cats.
