This client creates products that help landlords and property managers better manage their properties and tenant relationships. As a Project Manager, I oversaw the UX process with daily scrum meetings and jumped in with our Research and UI Leads to create the final design.
LOGOS
A collection of graphic designs and titles I created as a multimedia producer.
About
“Every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realizes he has just one” — Confucius
When I was sixteen, the institution where I learned music hired me as an instructor. I felt empowered to express myself creatively and share that with others. After a two-year interlude of discovery studying theology, I returned to the arts.
Jumping art mediums, I produced live tv broadcasts, podcasts, and independent filmmaking. In the summers, I filled my time with fun jobs like driving boats for remote wilderness programs and fixing and selling industrial art.
Within five years, I built a production company that introduced me to the small business world. Filmmaking for corporate clients showed me the world of product management and design.
Around this time, I became activated by our world’s need for designers to create meaningful digital experiences. Now, I marry my background in the arts with obsessive care for the interactive design process.
