What it's like working with me
I’ve been designing for a while now and have worn many hats along the way. From leading teams, launching products, aiding in product strategy, and conducting hundreds of hours of research. If you have a need, I can fill it!  But you don’t take my word for it, hear it from some people that I’ve directly worked with.

Brian is the UX Designer you want to work with. He just does great work and has fun doing it as a team. Nuff said.
