I’m a 25-year old UX designer & front-end developer currently living and working in Des Moines, Iowa. You can find me full-time at We Write Code, but I also take on side projects here and there as I’m able — please reach out if you’re interested!
I’m passionate about designing functional solutions for whatever problems my clients are trying to tackle — and I’ve never been afraid to get my hands dirty and learn something new. I also enjoy 3D modeling, illustration, brand identity, and more.
