We Are All Criminals
A UX/UI redesign focused on reducing barriers for people with criminal records seeking employment.
Designer. Developer. Outdoor Enthusiast.
With 15 years across branding, print, UX/UI, and front-end development, I've worn more hats than John Carpenter when he made The Thing. He had Kurt Russell. I have coffee, a good playlist, and considerably thinner hair.
I don't see myself just as a designer, I see myself as a problem solver. Every project gets a Taylor-made solution, because the constraints that slow most people down are exactly what push me toward something unexpected and effective.
For what it's worth, I once survived the Oregon Trail. Digitally, at least. Real life version still pending.
