Why me?

 

You + Me = :)

You are searching for a Product Designer to join your growing team. I am a Product Designer searching for an opportunity to help solve challenging problems with human-centered design solutions.

 
 

Why pick me?

 

I’m a problem-solver

I go to great lengths to define the problem, ask the right questions, and provide human-centered design solutions. I’ve been told (on more than one occasion) that I ask a lot of questions…some call it excessive, but I like to refer to my problem-solving curiosity as delightfully on-point.

I’ve been around the block a few times

From advertising agencies to marketing firms, I have over 13 years of design experience. I’ve crafted award-winning ad campaigns, created powerful brand identities, and designed user-centered solutions for a variety of products. I am an experienced designer that can adapt easily to new projects and welcomes new challenges with open arms.

I can talk the talk AND walk the walk

Client communication is one of my strong suits. Throughout my years as a Designer, I have led design presentations, answered the hard questions, and even stopped a few Clients from jumping off the proverbial cliff, and ultimately saved a few Accounts.

I play nice with others.

I thrive in a team environment and can give and receive feedback well. I have experience leading and mentoring other designers as well as working side-by-side with developers, engineers, and project managers. Teamwork makes the dream work.

 

Fun fact: I’ve had glasses since 4th grade and find the term “Four Eyes” sort of endearing.

 
 

Where did I come from? Well, let’s just say, I’ve made a few stops on my way to you…

I don’t mean to sound like my 5-year old on a long road trip, but… are you ready to chat yet?

 

Yep, this little sidekick is my super cool 5-year old son.
When I’m not in the design zone, I am usually on the boat with this guy, the hubs, and our two pups. I’m also very passionate about hand-lettering and believe designers benefit greatly from having a creative outlet outside of their professional work.
