Professional Experience
Former cartoonist for national newspapers and magazines turned UX designer. Creating believable characters and stories and mapping their progress through realistic situations that unfold over time, while actively responding to audience feedback were my skills as a cartoonist. They still apply in my work as a UX designer. From personas, to user flows to high-fidelity data-driven prototypes, I design with care for that most precious commodity: a user's attention.
