Experience
Design work
I started in design as a freelancer in 2014.
In 2015, I became a UX designer at the Washington Post. I went on to lead design on the iOS and Android teams there before leaving to go freelance and make my own projects in 2019.
As a freelancer, I've worked for the Boston Globe, Practicum and MetaGame. My focus for the last year has been on creating my own apps — Poly Capture, Web3 Board, and Diagram.
Development work
I'm a self-taught developer and am able to write clean, fast front-end code (React, most often using Next.js or Gatsby.js). I most commonly use Firebase for the backend. I also have experience with Swift — I made Poly Capture, a MacOS app I developed in late 2020.
