My Work

Years of experience as a web designer have informed my knowledge of usage patterns and visitors’ habits. That experience has proven invaluable for developing web-based user interfaces and mobile apps for complicated, high-tech equipment. I love the creative side of user experience design, while taking advantage of my ability to make complex concepts and processes easy and intuitive!
