Industry with art
is brutality

I've worked in design since 2000, starting out in graphic design and web and then moving on to mobile apps. I've won numerous awards for my work at Nike, Nintendo, AllRecipes  ,and Nordstrom.


I've designed and developed a number one app in the android marketplace T-mobile's My Account app and also streamlined T-Mobile’s billing experience on their website. I've helped create a top ten food app Allrecipes Dinner Spinner. For the last four years I worked at WEconnect to help people quit drugs and alcohol and provide online support meetings.

My graphic design work has received recognition from Teen Vogue, and Smashing Magazine. For the last four years I've been designing a family of apps for WEconnect on iOS, Android, and the Web.

In my spare time, I enjoy singing top 40 songs at divey karaoke bars, and playing Hades.
