I am a Senior UX/Product Designer based out of Fort Wayne, IN. I’ve been known to work as a web designer, graphic designer, interactive designer, UX designer, product designer, design consultant and mobile app designer over the last 20 years. Design has been my passion for as long as I can remember and I’ve been very fortunate to work for many companies of varying sizes across the country. I just moved back to the Midwest in order to settle down with my wife and dogs.
I am an tech enthusiast. I enjoy getting my hands on the newest devices for development purposes and due to a healthy respect for product design.
