Available to hire
I am an award-winning interactive artist and design leader with more than 15 years of hands-on experience shaping product, web and print design. I thrive on turning ideas into visually compelling, user-friendly experiences for desktop, mobile, and beyond.
My specialty spans UX/UI, design systems, accessibility (WCAG), responsive design, and CMS-driven sites (AEM, WordPress). I enjoy leading teams and collaborating with clients to craft branding, infographics, campaigns, and marketing materials that are both artistic and practical.
