I prefer to work remotely, but am happy to work in a hybrid capacity where this is practical.

Adobe Creative Suite, Google Webmaster Tools, Visual Studio, VS Code, PHP Storm, Android Studio and more.

I'm very experienced with Jira, Trello, Basecamp, Pivotal Tracker and other project management tools.

Every project is different. Every business faces unique challenges.

As a UX (User Experience) designer, my role is to understand those challenges and seek ways to overcome them.

This involves a process, working with customers, stakeholders, technical and administrative staff, and more.
