What I Do

I have an expert knowledge of creative web development built upon a passion for usable design. I work closely with business analysts and requirements engineers to describe and lay out plans for web sites and applications.

Information Architecture

An invisible and seamless UI starts with solid base structure. Research and maintenance are key to a solid UI architecture.

User Experience Design

Sexy, professional designs are something I thrive on. I am always seeking new ways to create a more beautiful environment.

Prototyping & Usability Testing

Building out prototypes of your designs and having others use them to complete a task or navigate through them is an essential step in ensuring your users will arrive at your website pleased, and leave having accomplished exactly what they wanted to.

UI Specs

I create specifications that allow for accurate estimates and give product managers a more clear view of their product.
