"My job is all about blending creativity with structure. I love starting a new web project and figuring out the layout and design, functionality, and user experience to bring graphics, audio, and video to life. It can be challenging, but that's what makes it fun!

After so many years in tech, I still find myself learning something new all the time. Technology moves fast and I have to keep my skills sharp. In my free time, I like watching videos to see emerging trends and be inspired by different creative work online, and then figure out ways to apply that innovation to my designs."
