UI/UX designer with a strong background in web development. Focused on crafting intuitive interfaces and enhancing user interactions to drive engagement and growth. Passionate about creating seamless, impactful user experiences.

Since 2008 I have been professionally designing with the Adobe App Suite. I have primarly used Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Audition and Premiere Pro. But I have experience in almost all of the Adobe Creative Suite.

I have been working with HTML for 10+ years since 2012 when I built a website to support my new game company.

At the same time I began developing with HTML I also began learning CSS. I'm constantly learning new and innovative ways to use CSS and Javascript.

As I was building websites I realized early on a need for more dynamic options. I learned Javascript in 2014 and am still learning to this day.

While learning the Bootstrap Libraries I also found that learning jQuery helped to streamline my efficiency with javascript and integrated well into custom built solutions and could even work along side PHP comfortably.

Starting in 2016 I began expanding my abilities into CMS solutions. I found out immediately that PHP was the preferred language for these systems.

One of the first CMS systems I learned was WordPress. I immediately fell in love with the custimizability with the system and dove right in. I now have a working knowledge of the WordPress PHP libraries and custom theme and block creation.

I was introduced to Bootstrap in 2017 when building a web application for a non-profit giving aid to people with disabilities in disaster areas. Since then I have used bootstrap to support hundreds of functional web applicatons.

Early in 2018 I was put directly in charge of a new client who needed an intelligent and user friendly eCommerce site. That site was built in Shopify which uses the Liquid language. Since then I've built many user friendly Shopify experiences.

When learning the liquid languag it relies heavily on the JSON architecture for schema information as well as dynamic options. I learned this along with learning liquid. And have built custom themes and systems in Shopify.

In 2019 I began looking into React as a solution to some of the limitations of Javascript. I found a passion for the languages and have been growing my knowledge base ever since.

For the sake of speeding up wireframing user experience, I began looking for solutions. In 2020 I found Figma and have used it regularly to speed up the revisioning of user experiences and design wireframing.

During a build of a custom web application, I had a need to build a large framework and Angular was the perfect library to do it with. Since then I've used Angular to support a large number of web and mobile applications.

While creating a custom membership system, my team and I had a need to write custom API's to reach the membership directory for using member information to show and filter by members interests. We found that Node.JS was the ticket and I've used it over 10 projects now.
