About Me
I am a passionate experience/product designer, researcher and developer with experience building for both mobile and desktop. I specialize in high level design thinking and prototyping.
I got into the design world through my Masters in Human Computer Interaction/design and I bring my experience in applied psychology I gained in my neuroscience undergrad career.
When I am not designing you will find me in the mountains around salt lake city and the world, in the garage working on splitboard prototypes or in the pottery playing with clay.
