I love basketball, hip hop, metal, advertising & sketching.

How people use things is my passion.

I started building websites in 9th grade when my family got our first computer and have been since. I got my first interactive job in 2006 and I started working at archer>malmo as an Interactive Developer in 2011.

In 2013 I moved from development to a strategy role as a User Experience Architect. I describe my job as "trying to understand how people use things". From data to forms to real world interactions with every day objects. Ease of use and limiting user frustration is paramount and my primary goals when working on a project.

Areas of Focus: Sketching, User Experience, Usability, Accessibility, Information Architecture and Front End Development. All of those things require a constantly evolving list of skill sets and techniques that look dated as soon as you list them out.

I also like to work with my hands as much as possible and make things in my free time.
