Design's my jam, and I've been fortunate to play around in a bunch of different industries. From entertainment to hardware, cars to insurance, I've even dabbled in hyper-casual games (think brain-melting trivia!). Over the years, I've hopefully built some user experiences that don't suck. This wild ride across industries has given me a unique way of looking at things, so I can tackle those tricky UX/CX challenges with some strategic thinking and teamwork.
But hey, design isn't my whole life! When I'm not knee-deep in design thinking, you'll probably find me tearing up the trails on my electric mountain bike. It's awesome to connect with nature and shred with my buddies. Plus, it keeps me fit and reminds me that pushing limits is worth it.
Travel's another big thing for me. I love exploring new places, checking out cool galleries and museums, and just soaking up the vibes of different cultures. It's the best way to learn new stuff and score some inspiration for my design work.
Speaking of design work, I believe the best stuff comes from working together. I love collaborating with talented folks, using design thinking, user research, and data to make the design process smooth. Building strong design systems and creating interactions that are as easy as pie is my jam, all to make sure every design decision makes users happy.
But the real magic happens when user data starts telling a story. Unveiling insights from research and analytics is my secret passion. By turning data into ideas we can actually use, we can take user experiences to the next level in a way that matters.
So, if you're looking for a design leader who digs collaboration, loves learning new stuff, and makes data-driven decisions (but isn't afraid to get a little dirty), let's chat!
