More about me

I enjoy turning complex problems into simple, beautiful and intuitive interface designs. When tasked with a challenge I go deep into the problem so I can understand the core problem we're trying to solve. Knowing this helps me make informed decisions and build enthusiasm for creating best experience. When I'm not coding or pushing pixels, you'll find me in the gym or on the soccer pitch.

What I Do ?

I have been working as a web/mobile interface & user experience designer and have a love of flat, clean, elegant styling. I have lots of experience in the production of Html/SASS, Responsive/Mobile, Javascript/React with NodeJS for modern web applications. I think user experience, accessibilty and aesthetics when I try to craft something.
