I've picked up a few things along my journey.

There are a number of ways that I show up and add value, but here is a concise list of the accountabilities that I own in my job in no specific order.

Creating Concepts

Most people believe an app will solve all their problems, but I help stakeholders better understand what they are truly trying to solve. By better defining the problem space, ideas can be generated around key fundamentals to build and iterate upon.

Visualizing Ideas

People better relate to an idea when it is visualized. Whether they are physical or digital, I bring ideas to life to streamline communication and resolve assumptions. This practice helps everyone understand the story a business is trying to convey.

Pushing Pixels

My main obsession is creating pixel perfect designs. The User Interface (UI) is the most tangible aspect of a product, which is incredibly hard to translate through words alone. The right UI design keep developers on track and a product building toward success.

Building Products

Creating products that are useful, useable, and desirable requires a balanced team with an agile mindset. I will jump into grooming the backlog, troubleshooting the CSS, or anywhere in between to ensure a product's success.

Im always open to discussing new projects or opportunities.
