I believe in creative solutions and specialize in thoughtful, user-centered designs that can take a project from good to great. In addition to my years of experience as a freelance illustrator and designer, I recently completed the coursework needed for a Google Professional Certificate in UX | UI Design. In addition to that certificate, I completed courses with Dribbble, The Interaction Design Foundation, and California Institute of the Arts.
