Highlights

  • KBB Price Advisor

    If you've ever bought a car in the United States, you’ve likely seen this!

    Fun fact: When the CEO first saw this, he haulted their upcoming marketing campaign to incorporate the Price Advisor.

Competencies

  • Product ideation & roadmap planning

    Design is easy, shipping a product is hard. It's important to do both.

    Also don't forget to factor in the long-term roadmap!

  • Wireframing

    My tool of choice is Balsamiq.

    I design high-fidelity wireframes to better visualize the experience of a product.

  • Copywriting

    Words and layouts go together. Fortunately I know both.

    I can also recite all 53 prepositions. 😎

  • User validation & testing

    Any user testing is better than no user testing. Every unique person brings a new perspective.

  • Product design

    I use Figma.

    (Let's be honest, am I even a designer if I used anything else??)

  • Prototyping

    Well-versed in Invision and Figma

  • Front end development

    Knowing how to build a page informs how you’ll design it.

    Proficient in HTML, SASS, and inside Node, Rails and .NET environments.
