Inside Design, Simplicity is Not a Style
“Eliminating complexities in your processes, designs, and life creates a more streamlined and effective solution.” Bruno Munari
“To complicate is easy, to simplify is hard. To complicate, just add, everyone is able to complicate. Few are able to simplify.” Conan O'Brien
“If you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen...do what you love with people you love...it's the definition of heaven on earth.” Dieter Rams
“I believe designers should eliminate the unnecessary... Good design is long-lasting. It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated.” Jeremy Keith
“If I have the choice of making something the user's problem, or making it my problem, I’ll make it my problem every time. That’s my job.”

About

With over twenty years of experience in UI/UX, I specialize in planning, designing, and developing intuitive, engaging, accessible, and fully responsive websites. My roles have included user interface designer, user experience strategist, web developer, email marketer, project manager, and team lead. I have built websites, formulated strategies, executed campaigns, managed web content, and provided creative direction with a focus on user experience. Leveraging analytics, user testing, and research, I have improved site performance, engagement, and conversion rates while collaborating with leadership to achieve organizational objectives. Although familiar with pre-defined frameworks, I prefer to craft solutions from scratch, embracing a design philosophy focused on simplicity to enhance functionality, speed, accessibility, and user engagement. Outside of work, I enjoy riding my bike, cheering for the Orioles, dining out, reading comics, listening to music, and critiquing 80s pro wrestling.
