Hi, I'm Sean — passionate product designer proficient in UI/UX design making apps and responsive websites.
I have over 7 years UX/UI experience making largescale mobile apps, responsive websites, iterative designs and rapid prototypes. I employ user-centered insights to create thoughtful, effective, elegant solutions with a holistic mindset. Along the way I've become pretty well versed at front end development, too.
