I’ve always been a designer, whether it’s User Experience, illustration, 3D modeling, or processes. The idea of creating something better, based on observation, reason, and data preoccupies my brain, often over my morning cereal.

I like to know why things are the way they are and how they can be improved. I made the avatar on the right for my Slack profile. It depicts me as a UX Space Marine (I am a Warhammer fan) holding a tool made out of “Y”s. I was learning about Sakichi Toyoda’s 5 Whys at the time. It also shows a design process where elements are observed, added, removed, and refined. I like to work in processes. They give me a plan, consistency, and a way to measure progress.

Outside of work I spend most of my time with my awesome family. We love movies, food, going on adventures, and sometimes hiking.
