Who I Am
I create user-friendly and engaging digital products as a Product Designer and Front-End Developer.
Growing up in an environment that frowns upon self-expression, I found myself compelled to independently master the realms of design and development.
My fascination was ignited around the age of fourteen, amidst the confines of our family home's basement, nestled in the tranquil embrace of a Massachusetts suburb. With unwavering determination, I scoured the vast expanse of the internet in search of Photoshop tutorials. I diligently downloaded entire websites onto my computer, immersing myself in the intricacies of their source code — shifting elements here and there, all to decipher their impact on the final output. Interestingly, I managed to cloak my hobby as diligent schoolwork, successfully deceiving my parents.
By the time I reached the age of sixteen, I had already begun taking on modest freelance assignments for local businesses. I used the extra money to upgrade my computer and buy books to expand my knowledge.
After I graduated from high school, I quickly got my first full-time position as a graphic designer. Over a decade later, I've worn many hats: web designer, front-end developer, back-end developer, user experience designer, product designer… but one thing remained:
My passion to create and my determination to learn what makes things tick.
