UX, Interaction, Visual, 3D, Design Evangelist

My goal is to prevent tech support calls through thoughtful product design. While in tech support, I witnessed customers struggle with technology to the point of frustration; that insight now guides my decision making.

I think the world can be made better through thoughtful, good design.

My customers tend to agree; five million of them use my designs daily and give me 4.8 stars in the App Store.
