Digital Design, Software Development, and many distractions

Jan 2016 – Jan 2025 · 9 yrs · Hybrid

I helped individuals and businesses implement+communicate their ideas with clarity. Sometimes that meant building websites and web apps; sometimes crafting graphics and animations; sometimes helping figure out the different systems that turn an ambiguous, noisy idea into something real.
Most importantly, all of the above—I didn’t do it all the time. I also got distracted by other things (that were a lot more fun).
