So what's your whole deal?

I make digital things!

I seek to make everyday things a little easier, and a little more joyful. Across apps, websites, games, and VR, I chase the small interactions and details that turn a task into a delight.

Delight? Isn't that just fluff?

Nope. The details people don't consciously notice are the ones they feel. A little play earns trust and brings people back.

How do you work?

The best design happens with other people! The whole reason the site is based off the comic book speech bubble is because I love working and talking with people. Design and creativity happens in constant dialogue with team members, stakeholders, and to the users themselves!

Community!
