Here's a little bit more about me!
My past
After graduating high school in 2015, I took a gap year to pursue a career in freelance filmmaking, which ended up taking me to Iraq to document humanitarian NGO activities, filming wedding videos, and up on stage with some of my favorite bands.
During that time I became interested in software design, seeing how new features affected my own productivity and creativity.
As I began working on getting into the software industry, I worked a job as a Land Surveyor at an architecture and construction firm, which invigorated my interest in the design and UX of mapping and GIS software.
I then found a job at ParkHub working as a Product Designer helping them to build out a design system, build a suite of business intelligence tools for clients and our internal teams, and improve the UX of our mobile point of sale iOS app, and train up a junior designer in all of these things.
I've contracted as a Product Design Consultant with several other companies ranging from Saturday which is a consumer social app to more B2B SaaS for the Real Estate Industry with RevolutionRE.

I'm currently on the hunt for Product Design roles in the NYC area. I'm interested in the following industries and technologies:

Mapping (OpenStreetMap, MapBox, etc.)
Payments / Financial (Stripe, Square, PayPal, etc.)
Creative Economy (Patreon, TikTok, YouTube, etc.)
I'm also looking at Emerging Technologies such as …
Cryptocurrency / Wallets / Web3
Decentralization
