I didn't always know I wanted to go into UI & UX design.
Since I was a kid a had passion for creative expression, from building with Legos to drawing, and even music. I found myself wanting to know how things worked, which prompted my decision to focus on mechanical engineering after high school.
After a slight "what do I want to do" crisis, I discovered UX design at Michigan State University through the Experience Architecture program. I couldn't absorb all the new information fast enough and wanted to learn more and more about how digital experiences are designed.
When I am not designing, I love trying new restaurants in Grand Rapids, Old Goat is my favorite by the way, learning 80s songs on my guitar, finding new local coffee beans to turn into espresso shots, and watching Manchester United football.
