I had been coding and publishing iOS apps for 15+ years before I realized what I truly enjoyed about being a developer. It wasn't writing network calls or reviewing code or anything in between. What I enjoyed most was the very beginning of the process — understanding what users wanted, and figuring out how to create a clean, beautiful experience for them.
Over the years, I have created a number of pro bono logos, websites, apps, branding/marketing campaigns, and even t-shirt designs. This gives me a unique blend of design AND development experience. This allows me to put pixels in their logical places.
