CODE

I'm a full stack web developer with a focused interest in UI/UX. I work with JavaScript, React, Redux, React Native, NodeJS, Mongo, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and more.

INSPIRATION

My personal asthetic is quirky, modern and harmonious. I've been inspired by the sights, colors, smells and sounds of futuristic Tokyo, Japan and the vast hillsides of the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

FUN

When I'm not coding, I'm traveling, camping, practicing yoga and flow arts, rock climbing,cooking, or playing video or board games with friends.

Users can see recent activity from others as well. I was Design Lead on the project, which took 3 weeks in a small team of developers.
