The details are not details. They make the design. Leave it better than you found it.
I'm a UX designer with a unique blend of design and engineering expertise. I work closely with front-end developers and create products for software engineers, including Developers, Solution Architects, and DevOps Engineers. My dual perspective allows me to craft solutions that are both visually appealing and technically sound. My process focuses on iterations and validations: think, build, launch, measure, repeat.
