About 

    With a formal education in design and half-a-decade professional experience in technology, I provide creative services which guide products through development. I've never been quite satisfied with the ordinary; and firmly believe that extraordinary design can spark innovations, establish unique identities, and ultimately 'wow' customers.

    It is with this industrious belief that lead me to graduate with honors from one of the nation's paramount public research universities in 2011, begin my professional career with a progressive startup in 2012, and continue to make the world a better place through extraordinary design in 2013 and beyond.

    How can I help you?
