ABOUT ME
|
I love content, and provide services in art direction and user experience for industries in culture, education / training, and (e-)commerce. My first teaching experiences exposed me to a wide variety of people with different backgrounds, needs, and talents. It has followed me throughout my career as a designer, storyteller, whatever— user-centered design and understanding your audience will give you the goods to communicate well. To reach people where they are through visual, auditory, haptic, or written content is a science as much as it is an art form.
You can usually find me hiking, reading, or at an art exhibition. I also bartend on occasion and can open a beer with a lighter or spoon. Are you looking for a designer?
