ABOUT
I'm a interaction-designer, commonly known in the tech industry as "product designer" or "UX/UI designer". I've designed programming environments for students, taught a course called interactive-environment to the same students, open-sourced ways to test the quality of water. I've also helped build and launch SaaS products, done product roadmaps, written company strategy, lead user research & user testing, project management, creative direction, and more.
In a past life, I co-founded a hardware startup, as well as a small web agency. I taught interaction design in universities. As a consultant, I helped my clients incorporate design as a strategic tool to help solve problems. To see my full resume and portfolio, please send an email.
