I Work at the Intersection of
Design & Development

I have independent, freelance, start-up, and agency experience crafting mobile and web applications large and small. I launched my first app, StatusBar+, when I was 16. Since then, I have personally shipped more than a dozen Android apps used by over a million people and built websites visited by millions more.

Process

  1. Mockup of Noyze App
  2. Source code of Noyze App
  3. Photo of Noyze App

Process: identify a problem ⟶ build empathy ⟶ sketch ⟶ prototype ⟶ develop ⟶ test ⟶ launch and support ⟶ learn from mistakes.

Work

Regardless of scale, I strive to implement solutions that set new standards and redefine what's possible. Below is a sample of my work.

More coming soon

I've made many more things, but I'm told by lawyers not to show them publically. In their place, I've included a list of companies and organizations I've worked with. If you'd like to learn more, let's get in touch.
