Coffee or tea?

I’m a product designer from Atlanta.

I spent most of my childhood stationed in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany with my military parents. Eventually, our family settled in a small, scenic town called Dahlonega, Georgia. It was there that I dove headfirst into HTML and photoshop. I would grow to learn that information architecture and user interface were the backbone for a lifetime in satisfying curiosity.

I’m animated, but I’m not animated!

As a real live human being, I have hobbies. I love drawing, but I also love mountain biking – which means I also love mountain bike repair.

I’ve recorded some music in my basement. I’ve written some poetry by my desk lamp.
