Designer and Project Manager

Blue Flavor was a small Seattle design agency run by people who cared deeply about the craft. We worked on web and early mobile projects during a time when the iPhone had just launched and everyone was figuring out what "mobile design" even meant.

I worked as both designer and project manager, doing research, wireframes, visual design, and front-end code while also running client relationships. Working directly with clients taught me how to translate fuzzy goals into concrete products. It was the perfect place to develop a point of view about design before joining Facebook.
