Research.
Brainstorm.
Prototype.
Validate.
Strictly adhering to convention can go unnoticed; unchecked innovation can be confusing.
As a designer and design thinker, I strive to translate abstract creative ideas into plain-english actionable tactics. I recognize the importance of perfecting ‘the small stuff’ without losing sight of the big picture. I’m an artist, a problem solver, and an entertaining personality who’s equally comfortable designing complex digital tools or pitching creative ideas to a board full of executives.
From working with big brands and at an award-winning design studio, I learned the importance of following instruction and approaching creativity and inspiration as a measurable and repeatable process.
Inspiration isn’t found; it’s created using the tools at hand in new and unconventional ways.
