In May of 2017, as a graduation gift to myself I got an opportunity to spend 2 weeks in Amsterdam. It was an amazing experience, just my second venturing outside the US. It served not only as an introduction to Europe but also a re-lit my passion for travel.
If you follow the link, you can check out a relatively small selection of the photos I collected there as well as a little video I put together.

What I do
Branding
Branding is much more than a simple logo, a strong visual identity increases the value of a company. It also serves as a way to connect with the consumer and create a relationship that they can come to expect each time they connect. A strong brand will also serve as a source of pride and direction for employees. Connecting with both the consumer and employee create lifetime relationships that lead to a highly sustainable business ecosystem. I can help develop and establish these relationships.
UI / UX
User and Experience, two of the primary factors that determine whether a user chooses one service over another. Paying attention to each moment of the users\’ journey highlights positive and negative points of interaction across the platform. The use of micro interactions and gestures establish familiarity and expectation each time they access the platform—in combination with strong branding. Through user testing and feedback I can help generate responsive UI that better suits the needs of the user.
Thinking
Beyond understanding color theory and composition, the process of design thinking is rapidly becoming a common practice in more contexts than just visual design. Thinking and ideating on a solution to address a problem has become integral in developing new business models to appeal to a new type of consumer, one that is consuming their information like never before through specific platforms. I see this as an opportunity to apply the way I think to a variety of problems that are in need of new solutions.

About Me
Finance
Outside of design, personal finance is a true passion of mine. Below are 2 Motif\’s I built, the first a group of solid ETFs. The second a combination of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google—a.k.a. the future of all commerce. If you aren\’t familiar with Motif, it is an investment platform that allows you to purchase multiple stocks in what they call a \”motif\”. Those can be weighted however you choose and you can start with as little as $250.
If you follow this link, you can get started with Motif. I\’d also check out Acorns, it\’s an app that lets you round up spare change into the market for even less than Motif. Plus, we\’ll both get $10 if you use my link.
