Summary

I'm a creative problem solver, supporter of human-centered design, and lifelong learner who works remotely from anywhere in the nation and is headquartered in the Washington, DC, metro region.

I am an advocate of human-centered design. I am based in the Washington, DC, area and work remotely from anywhere in the US. Thanks to my more than 10 years of experience creating user-friendly interfaces for websites, databases, and mobile apps, I am highly skilled at distilling down complex information into easily digestible bits. I use extensive research and analysis to create designs that are both useful and aesthetically pleasing, always putting the needs of the user first. My perpetual goal is to create unforgettable user experiences, and with my expertise and experience, I am confident that I am a strong candidate for any work or position in this field.
