I came to UX/UI & product design through my work as a graphic designer. I went to undergrad for printmaking, the original technologies of design, used today for fine art. I designed first for print media, then web, and then mobile as technology has progressed. With each step I have adapted to the form factors, presentation of information in an easily digestible manner, and simplifying the user experience to accomplish the task at hand. I am a modernist and minimalist at heart. These principals guide my aesthetic choices. The final product must be easy and intuitive for the end user.
