New website coming January 2019
Focusing on process, design, and much more.

I can't show many images publically regarding what I have worked on, but I have more details in my resume

Apple (Corporate) Maps Human Interface Design Team.

  • Lead UX Designer
  • 3D Prototyper
  • Unity Developer
  • Technical Artist
  • Pipeline Development

Lead UX Designer
- Lead designer (DRI) on several major features in Apple Maps, released and
unreleased, including Lane Guidance and Smart Camera, Maps navigation
improvements.
- Full-stack UX Design, starting a project from an idea, prototyping, pitching to
