OBJECTIVE I am seeking a position as a UX Designer in a challenging, fast-paced, fun environment that utilizes team-work, modern techniques, and is geared towards creating professional design. I strive to find a happy balance between creating effective design that is functional and that is aesthetically pleasing and fresh. I aim to push a team of designers and developers to create the best possible product for our clients, no matter what the medium is, nor the platform, nor the demographic, anything less than perfection is non-negotiable. While building client relationships and watching them blossom into future work and opportunities, I will also focus on teaching our clients modern design practices, so they will grow to understand the intention of our work, and why we are better than our competition.
