"I became a web and print designer 20 years ago, then pivoted to UX/UI, Product, and Design Systems in the last 10 years, all through being self-taught. I have 5+ years of experience mentoring and managing designers and look forward to helping fellow self-directed learners level up their design skills.

Figma

As a very early adopter, I am deeply proficient in Figma, notably in auto-layout, variant and property management, and component refactoring. I have been called an absolute craft master and an auto-layout wizard, and I was the Figma go-to guy where I worked.

Design Systems & UI/UX

My commitment to staying on top of design trends results in cutting-edge design systems prioritizing accessibility, cohesiveness, and the end-user experience. I can provide design reviews to ensure design standards, improve the accuracy of iterations, and ensure best user experience.

Organization

Don’t overlook organization! I take pride in my file hygiene – I've been recognized for my well-organized and clean research files, where hidden elements are still meticulously structured with auto-layout, labeled layers, and system tokens. I can help you create a file system that works for your project or job.

Ask Me Anything

I'm a team player, and I don’t believe in gatekeeping. I'm always willing to share my expertise and seek ways to improve processes and flows. I want to share everything I've learned to help you become a skilled, experienced designer and an asset to your team or project.
