MORE ABOUT ME
My background in fine arts as a self-taught miniature-scale portrait sculptor (attention to details and form) set the foundation for me to become an expert in visual design and UI specification for digital product development.
Receiving formal education in industrial design and psychology allowed me to integrate my curiosity about human behavior with my passion for solving problems by utilizing design principles and processes.
I come from a big family. I boxed in college and won 2 championships. I have traveled to over 20 countries and lived in the United States (8 states), Mexico, and South Korea.
I use a suite of productivity tools to get things done and actualize goals. Pixel perfection matters. I enjoy a good debate. I zero out my inbox daily. Coaching and developing others brings me joy.
