I've been involved in the beautiful field of user experience in one capacity or another since 2010. I spent many years as a Product Manager before officially transitioning to UX Design.

Fast forward to many years later, my current role is 'Lead UX/UI Designer' at an excellent software company in the midwest serving the Agriculture & Animal Health industries. I manage a small team of designers as we provide UI/UX Design for all initiatives and efforts across our organization. Our flagship product is a SaaS platform which empowers farmers and the agronomists they work with to manage their operations, optimize their processes, and utilize data and science to create real, usable insights.

My team and I provide UX/UI/graphic & visual/interaction/animation/marketing/and general design support across our organization. We're closely involved in product strategy and philosophy, exemplifying and advocating UX and its importance in everything we do.

I also do quite a bit of freelance UI/UX and graphic design work on the side. I've managed and designed multiple mobile applications, websites, and desktop products over the years. I'm also frequently hired by local companies for more artistic graphic design type work, ranging from designing company logos, branding, etc. to t-shirt designs and the like. :)
