A little about me

After growing up in the Midwest, I moved to Richmond, VA where
I currently live with my girlfriend Jane and our two cats, Chamomile and Mimosa. I love to spend my time working on art and design projects, as well as exploring the city, mountains, and the beach.

Work ethic

Executing design tasks with excellence and a high attention to detail is of the utmost importance to me. I believe that exceptional design is achieved by aiming for the most ideal solution, not the easiest one.

Growth aspirations

My passion for design is rooted in a long-standing interest in visual systems, user interfaces, and human-centered design. Having started my career in brand identity and marketing, I've since begun to build upon that foundation with digital interface work using design systems thinking.

Tuned App

Tuned: Mindfulness in Nature is a prototype for an app which would give users instant access 
to live audio streams from different natural locations across the globe. My buildout for Tuned features a simplistic UI which is both sophisticated as well as modest. The dark value range 
of the UI keeps visual distractions low, prioritizing the audio experience above all else. This principle is mirrored in the UX. All navigation functions as an overlay, never fully hiding the continuous audio stream beneath. Accessible through the menu, Tuned offers a personal meditative experience through the features: Search by Category, Based on Taste, Popular Streams, and Favorites.
