About Me

My UX curiosity started in the World of Warcraft. I was looking for a way to optimize information overload in the chaos of 40 adventurers fighting for their lives. So I designed custom addons with the goal of merging style with peak digestibility to help simplify spell choices, resource costs, event timers, etc to maximize monster destruction. This initial UX quest was successful as these tools were used by tens of thousands of players including world-first teams and Blizzard's game developers.

I've transitioned the call of enhancing UI & UX experiences into a career across a variety of applications, from handling general design and solo front-end dev work, to specializing in optimizing complex cyber security user experiences for multi-departmental organizations. This background has given me advantages in understanding engineering limitations as well opportunities for development efficiency, but my core motivation remains the same: to simplify everything for the user while extending their capabilities.

As far as life outside design, I live near Atlanta, GA, with my wife, two rambunctious black kittens, and two mischievous senior dachshunds. I'm also a competitive powerlifter, actively training and participating in local and regional events as well running a small team out of my garage gym.
