On Design

Design is human-centered. Design is not decorating, nor is it tied to the latest trend. Design is not merely an aesthetic experience. Design concerns balance, depth in meaning, judgment, and simplicity. Design embraces uncertainty and abandons ego, thereby both revealing and solving problems. Design supports whole-systems, and always respects context.

On Web Development

I enjoy working across the full stack, while specializing in front-end, in-browser, design & development. Currently, I am focused on supplementing my modern development skills by learning: Babel, ES6, Node, React, Redux, and Webpack. I’m excited to contribute towards a future powered by universal, progressive web applications.

Guest on the Design Goggles Podcast

Design Goggles is a podcast from Seattle architecture and design firm Board & Vellum. I was thrilled to join hosts Charles and Rachel to discuss how I leverage a traditional architectural design education to inform my work designing and engineering customer experiences.
