A Little About Me
I’m not your average cubicle sitting type of guy. I thrive in creative environments where teams communicate, and ideas are shared. I want to make trends and push the boundaries instead of doing things because everyone else does it. I’m an innovator that wants to improve myself and my team every day. My experience has given me the opportunity to be involved in the full life cycle design/development, collaborating with multiple departments from business planning, storyboarding, marketing, designers, developers, and finally the end users. I work as a team instead of a siloed approach. I can take an idea written on a napkin to turn it into a full production ready product whether it’s for web, mobile, print, TV, and wherever you can place it! In my past few roles, I have been tasked with working with business stakeholders to gather required information to create business requirements, UI/UX mockups, and worked with modern technology to implement the solutions. I have also been involved with being a Product Manager to create tasks for others utilizing Agile methodologies. I'm well versed in working with multiple departments to take products from concept to finished products.
