My Resume
I have worked at a variety of creative roles. My favorite non-UX job was working as a custom framer for a number of years. I got to frame pieces of art created by some famous people which included Winston Churchill. All-in-all, I am confident in saying that UX Design has been the most interesting role I have experienced.
