Skillset

There is no lack of tools and methods available for designers today. As much as I would like to list all that I have learned so far, (oh boy, would that be a boring list…), I’ll refrain. Instead I’m going to say, I’m skilled at selecting, and using, the right tool for any product's envisioned experience.
