Hello There
Designer. Builder. Coffee Sipper. Podracer.
Classic guy with a modern touch.
I’m a designer whose focus is to elevate and enhance experience, not only through a screen but in life as well. By allowing myself to be curious and creative, it has opened several opportunities that I'm very proud of. I've been fortunate to be apart of an animation film, start an e-commerce store and work with an early startups.
Away from my desk, you can find me watching Bay Area sports, shaking up some new cocktails or being a food reviewer with my Fiancé.
