*Sigh* Once more unto the breach, dear friends. I’m back on the job market and looking for the right fit.

I have experience:
💡As a versatile UX / product designer,
🔍 As a dedicated user researcher,
🤝🏼 As a compassionate design leader, and;
🛠️ As a front end developer who cares deeply about accessibility and performance.
