The moment you uncover a unexpected pain point during a customer interview.  An exciting whiteboard session with a team. Putting on headphones and pushing pixels in Sketch.  Making something move delightfully in a prototyping tool.  These are just a few of the things I love about being a designer.

When I first started out in the design field 11 years ago, I never thought I would be enthusiastic about designing experiences for financial institutions.  But over the last four years I have realized that wherever there are real customer problems to solve there is always a place for passion.

When I am not designing user experiences I love to eat burritos, hike and play ice hockey
