About me.

Hi, I'm West, a UX/UI designer based in North Carolina. I'm currently looking for a role as a UX designer or product designer.

After growing up in Pennsylvania, I graduated form Clemson University in 2018 with a major in financial management and minor in accounting. I soon moved to Melbourne, Australia, where I spent a year working accounting jobs and traveling as much as I could. After coming back to the U.S. and continuing my career in accounting, I increasingly felt that it wasn’t the right path for me. I soon found UX and knew it was a perfect fit for both my business background and love of design.

About This Site

All work is original and my own. I built this site in 2023-2024 from scratch using Webflow and without templates.

My personal branding & the theme of this site are based on flowing water, which I use as a metaphor for the fundamentals of my design philosophy.

Water is an essential requirement for life and makes up the majority of the human body.
‍This motif represents my belief that the most important aspect of any project are the people for whom I’m designing. The free-flowing fluidity of water mirrors the ability to be flexible, creative, and think in unfamiliar ways. In my view, consciously keeping an open mind and being willing to see problems from new perspectives are foundational to crafting effective, useful designs.
