My Design Prinicples

Simplicity in the design. Clarity in the message. And above all, empathy for the user.

In the Afterhours

When I am not working you can find me working...on my own creative endeavors. I spend my free time working with my hands in various artistic mediums and shooting photos or videos of the outdoors. Producing physical art and documenting my adventures keeps me inspired and focused.
