About Me
I’m a multidisciplinary designer who has worked for ad agencies, design firms, and product companies. I currently lead a small design team at CityBase, a company trying to make the interactions between governments and its constituents easier.
Throughout my professional journey I’ve realized that my passion lies in building products and brands that help people. If that sounds like you or your company and you’d like to work with me, please get a hold of me.
