Hi! I'm a Western New York-based UX/product designer and engineer with nearly two decades of experience.
I've been working in the UX field since earning a B.S. in Digital Media Arts from Canisius University in 2006. From the beginning, I've had a strong focus on designing user-focused and accessible interfaces and coding them to the highest standards. I am very well versed in semantic HTML, CSS (as well as SCSS), and JavaScript (including several modern frameworks).
Over my career, I've held multiple positions, shouldered many responsibilities, and learned a ton. Here's a brief summary…
