portfolio

Below is a sampling of my design work over the years. More examples are available upon request.

• Craftsy 2.0 IOS/Android

  UI/UX Design for the iOS/Android versions of the Craftsy 2.0 Platform. These were assembled as a prototype and user tested. Then used to create a UI Component Library in React Native. I also built/coded many of these components.

  

• Craftsy Wireframes & User Flows

  Pixel perfect mock ups aren't always the design artifact needed to convey an idea. Sometimes a simple wireframe can get the job done. Other times the mock ups or wireframes need the support of a user flow/journey. Below is a sampling of those artifacts

  

• DishAnywhere

  UI/UX Design for the DishAnywhere Web App. I also built/coded much of this UI.

  

• Airhead Misfits

  Graphic, logo, and print design work for Airhead Misfits.
