About Me
Hey there! I'm a creative developer based in Baltimore City. Born in Ohio, I moved to Maryland as a kid and started making Flash games and animations on the computer. Remember those stick fights and browser RPG's? Yeah, that was me.
During college, I studied Interactive Media and Animation, and I took a 2 year gap to move to San Diego, CA to do art for an indie game called Closure. To say this was an adventure would be an understatement. After school, I continued my journey through art and code to UX Design for consumer products. I love getting feedback from real people and iterating on things I've made so this seemed like a great fit.
Now, I both code and design for products and love learning new things all the time. I've designed and implemented UI's for healthcare and military sims, consumer desktop and mobile apps, and websites. I've run workshops, and I even bring out my art chops sometimes on the job. For fun, I like to swing dance, and paint with friends. I even have an online shop!
