About
Hi, I’m Zach.
I have over 15 years of professional experience working in the design field. In 2014, I decided to focus my career on UX. I have a passion for problem solving and creating an adaptive process to find solutions. I strive to learn something new and improve my skills each day. I have grown into managing teams of UX professionals who deliver exceptional results. However, I do not mind still getting into Figma and designing solutions to complex problems.
Background
My design skills started in high school taking an immersive graphic design course. They evolved further in college where I pursued my degree in graphic design. After working as a graphic designer for a few years I fell in love with UX when mentor of mine suggested I my curiousity and drive would fit well in a UX role. I took a course at General Assembly and have been mastering my skills in the field ever since.
