Why am I an RGD?
Being an RGD means bringing respect to the design community. RGD provides a platform for designers to do better within our own community and society by demanding high standards and ensuring that people practice good design. RGD creates unique opportunities for its members and allows us to connect on both professional and personal levels. RGD gives me a respected voice and a platform that helps me give back to the design community.What is my most memorable RGD moment?
Speaking at DesignThinkers TO 2019 was the highlight of my time with RGD so far. It was amazing to be able to impart knowledge to my peers and to share an incredibly unique workplace experience at a think-tank called the Martin Prosperity Institute. I was also proud to represent persons with disabilities within RGD's community.Why am I a designer?
You hear most designers say this but design is my passion. I love problem-solving and I have an unshakeable commitment to making complex ideas beautiful so that my clients' research can get the attention it deserves and reach a wide audience. Through information design, I hope to help teachers reach their students on another level.Why should you hire me?
If you have data or information to be visualized than look no further. As an information design specialist my clients love working with me because of my analytical skills and no-nonsense approach. My signature style is “designs you didn’t even know you needed.” If you're interested in hiring me, book a call here.Contributions to RGD
