WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • I’m an User Experience design student, full time Graphic Designer, and Secret Agent living in Chicago, Illinois. I am a fan of design (some call it an obsession), technology, and photography. I’m also interested in innovation especially in the world of medical technologies. I also have a passion for astronomy. When I’m not saving the world, I’m usually hanging out with my dog (his name is Zero.. he’s a jerk).
