Skills

Problem solving

Approach every problem with curiosity, questioning and seeking to understand the root causes, to develop thoughtful and effective solutions. Technical problem solving from a developer and a user-centric designer mindset during development and production stages: from analysis of UI during wireframing and handoff, to source code front end programming and interface testing and optimization from an UX perspective.
