SKILLS
My collective experience encompasses many disciplines, the focus being on the creation and deployment of digital communications. Over the past 11 years I have worked in the biotech, pharmaceutical, and financial industries as well as education, delivering UX/UI design, art direction, strategy, and marketing and communications in a variety of media. I have worked on several launch brands and re-branding efforts that allowed me to use my experiences and skills in both creative direction and UX. I have many years of experience designing and prototyping interfaces across multiple platforms while working closely with engineers to develop beautiful context based solutions. I have also have experience designing interfaces for several immersive VR and gaming experiences. I believe it's an exciting time to be working in this space as a designer with new products and services being digitized everyday.
