I’m a product designer with a background spanning 3D graphics, UI/UX design and software engineering, currently focused on interactive 3D products, workflows and tools.
I’m the son of an artist and engineer, and so literally grew up in a home surrounded by art and technology.
My love of both presented a challenge when finishing High school, do I follow the arts or technology? I went the Computer Science route and worked as a web engineer for many years but found myself always in photoshop designing UI before building it.
Eventually my creative side took over and I made the transition to designer, particularly focusing on mobile and native apps. My technical background allows me to stay close the technology making my designs practical and realistic.
My love of 3D graphics comes from this fusion of art and technology, and I have been developing and incorporating this into my skillset over the past several years.In addition to my design skills, I have leadership and business experience enabling me to collaborate and communicate with all stakeholders easily and effectively.
My approach is calm, fun, humble, collaborative and can work independently or as part of a team.
