What I do

Core disciplines covering strategy, design, code, and creative experimentation

Digital Strategy

I figure out what users actually need (not what they say they need), what the market wants, and how to make stakeholders happy. Then I make a plan that doesn't suck.

Creative coding

I write code to create art. Generative designs, interactive experiences, weird experiments. Sometimes it's useful, sometimes it's just cool. Both are valid.

Concept development

I take wild ideas and turn them into something real. I explore, break things, refine, and push boundaries until it's actually good. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's the fun part.

Digital design

I design digital experiences. UX flows, UI components, micro-interactions, motion design - I make interfaces that feel good to use. Design systems, component libraries, and that perfect easing curve for a hover state.
