I knew I was going to be a designer since I was 12 years old. As of February 2012, I work as a User Experience Designer at a local Grand Rapids studio. Before that I was a freelancer for 2 years.

I'm an optimist, and a generally motivated/driven individual. I set goals, and make a genuine effort to achieve them. Constantly striving to improve myself means if my work isn't getting better, I'm doing something wrong.

I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It's somewhat lucrative, and large enough to provide a wide range of social opportunities, which encourages me to spend time away from design. I enjoy my personal and work life, so I can't complain.
