About

Since 2013, I have been working professionally as a Web Developer & Designer in Minneapolis.

My development and design philosophy is heavily influenced by Dieter Rams and his 10 Principles of Good Design. It is my goal to use great design thinking to help solve technical problems.

Capabilities

Good design is thorough down to the last detail. Good development is much the same way. From mockup to markup, I have the capabilities to build it.
