In My Own Words

I'm a creative with a background in graphic design, UI/UX, and marketing strategy. I approach my work in a studied fashion so that it can be timeless, enduring, and connect with the customers. I view each project as a unique challenge with which to learn and grow. I enjoy working both collaboratively and solo and believe that the best end products come from divergent thinking, research, and experimentation.

BINIT is an app concept, created out of a real need to help people decide how best to dispose of their refuse. Most people would like to do their part to improve our planet, but due to the confusing and varied nature of recycling and composting depending on region, many people do it incorrectly. BINIT would cross reference local facilities and regulations to provide users with the tools to dispose of their waste in the greenest ways that they can.
