About
I don't prefer one aspect of design over another. I have innate abilities in branding, but all things interactive spark my technical thinking/problem solving interests, and have been my bread + butter over the past four years. I was raised to do everything to the full extent of my ability, so when I dedicate myself, it's for the long haul. I'm a hands on thinker; carry multiple tasks at full force in order to achieve most efficient success. I love collaboration and learning, and can also take a project from inception, to completion as the principal creative.
