My edge over my peers

• I am a thoroughly international candidate, having lived on two continents and worked across many timezones Few creative leaders have touched as many disperse industries as I have (games, medtech, advertising, semiconductor)My design skills embrace UI and UX Design, web & mobile app design, 3D animation, video, games and printI have served in executive positions as well as individual contributor roles, and thus problem-solve from multiple anglesI have excellent written and oral communication skills, and can present to client executives at the highest levels (NFL, etc.)I practice a user-centered design philosophy, always looking at creative challenges from the POV of the end userMy approach to digital design relies on rapid prototyping early and often; build it and play with it to know if it works
