Behind the scenes

Skills & Experience

Design Philosophy

I like having fun with my work, especially using animation & interactivity to create a sense of joy. My favorite type of project is one where I can work with and create great experiences for brands that resonate with me. My go-to style is a clean aesthetic + tasteful colors with a dash of personality.

Here's what to expect

My process

Step 1

Introduction

At the beginning of any project, we'll be discuss your brand, your ideal users, any specific requirements you might have, and what a successful project looks like.

Step 2

Research

After our initial conversation, I'll start diving in and doing some competitive research as well as gathering inspiration that will help inform my design choices.

Step 3

Ideation

After completing the research, I'll start coming up with concepts to present. Depending on the project, this could be initial logo concepts, a website homepage design, or wireframes to show possible user flows.

Step 4

Collaboration

We'll link up and I'll walk you through my concepts and the thoughts behind them. Together, we'll select a concept and I'll take your feedback and iterate. We'll go through this process several times (established in Step 1) to come up with the finished product.

Step 5

Launch / Handover

We'll have one, last review of the design concept and make sure everything's good to go. At this point, I'll turn over the final product and package up any relevant files for you. Then we celebrate!
