process & user driven
approach to design
I'm a New England based designer working as a freelance web designer and design educator.
As both an educator and life long learner, I strive towards continuous growth, improving and iterating my abilities, and adapting new skills and methodologies as they arise.
I believe in a human-centered approach to design, and craft all of my work with users and their needs at the forefront of what I create.
A designer working at the intersection between art, design,engineering, & speculative ideas
In my free time, I have a deep passion for photography, videography, and all forms of interactive media.
As a lifelong maker with a background in sculpture, I also spend a lot of my free time making things like props and figures.
