Digital Consultant & Strategist, UI/UX Interactive Designer Developer.
Innovator in deploying next-generation mobile-first products, data-driven marketing/branding and customer relationship platforms that leverage user-centered fundamentals, scalable processes, and global market strategies, to deliver superior channel management, customer segmentation/growth, platform engagement, and brand value generation.
I am able to “wear many hats” in the context of web technologies / design / development / strategy / business / branding / marketing. I love the complexity of starting with a blank canvas and developing thoughtful platforms. I do this by creating user flows and building custom front end experiences that harness the powerful back end capabilities of modern technology frameworks.
I am a person who wants to understand how things work (to look behind the curtain) and then use those mechanisms to make logical and efficient solutions that are easy to use and drive business. I am hungry for research and passionate about applying knowledge into the real world, i.e. marketplace.
I have been obsessed with digital technology since 2005 with the idea that businesses need someone who will understand their core values. This desire to ‘connect to the unique brand’ has helped a diverse group of individuals and companies establish a digital presence. I develop a collaborative strategy of design, development, marketing, and branding that is optimized and scalable to meet each project’s objectives.
