About Me
I'm a UI/UX Designer + Developer who loves to design and code modern interfaces. I've been studying design
and development since 2014, and have both a Bachelor's in Visual Communication Technology and an
Associate's in Web Design. I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio, and I moved to Portland, Oregon in
2021. I'm passionate about providing best-in-class user interface, no matter the industry or application.
I love coffee, sushi, music, technology, gaming, Japan, fashion, standup comedy and
more. Over time, I hope to help make the world a better place and help solve problems that the world faces
via my expertise as a creative technologist.
Figma
I have many years of experience with leading UI Design software. Figma takes my ability to design and
prototype interfaces and pages to a new level.
Adobe Creative Cloud
While I can accomplish most UI work in Figma, I also have experience with Adobe software, including Photoshop for image work, Premiere for video, and more.
HTML & SCSS
Not everyone loves it but I really enjoy HTML/SCSS. SCSS is one of my strongest skills, allowing me to make my
designs a reality in-browser, down to the pixel.
JavaScript
JavaScript is for dynamic content, animation, transitions, vfx and pretty much any logic/functionality
for web.
Vue.js
Vue is currently my preferred JavaScript framework. It allows for building modern web apps in a clean
way.
GSAP
This is the flagship JavaScript animation library, used for pretty much anything that moves or
animates in a cool way.
three.js
Three.js is what I use to integrate WebGL onto webpages, which is 3D and particle/fx content &
visuals.
Git
I'm experienced with Git for version control, collaboration and incremental enhancement of websites
and applications.
Node / NPM
I use Node & NPM to build sites and applications. This is to use CLI commands to install modular
libraries and give a project capabilities fast.
Vite
Vite is my preferred build tool and dev server. It allows for a rapid developer experience.
Shopify / Wordpress
The CMS's I use most often to integrate admin dashboards and asset/post management to a web project.
Adobe Commerce
I have plenty of experience with Adobe Commerce (previously Magento), Adobe's commerce platform for
larger e-commerce websites.
