Throughout the past 11 years, I've journeyed my way through the evolution of web and mobile technologies. I've built plenty of websites & applications, eventually realizing that what I really loved doing, was creating designs that look cool 😎.

Having said that, I believe that form follows function. Good functionality is the key to problem-solving; good design elevates it. Like the conspicuousness of Norman doors, I find myself constantly noticing problems and coming up with ways on how to improve them. Problems are brain-teasers to me: if I apply enough thought and research, a solution will present itself.

Doors that have the affordances that suggest the opposite of how the door actually functions.

The products I've worked on have all been unique, so they've had different constraints, problems, and solutions; what I have found to be constant though, is the willingness of peers (and of users) to help me design. Whenever I find myself in a rut, the people I work with have always shared their insights and knowledge to help out. I would not be where I am without the guidance of my past co-workers, mentors, and managers.

In my free time, I like to hike, boulder, play (beach) volleyball, experiment with crypto, and play with my cat Maui.

Design is problem-solving. Design is for everyone. Design is never done.
