Since 2007, I have worked independently as a freelancer that specializes in both Branding and UX, in addition to consulting in the design space. Working with many clients, and often taking short contracts, freelancing has provided me with consistent work, income, and endless lessons in how to run a business. This freedom has allowed me to start multiple companies while traveling throughout the country. Previous to 2012, I offered my services under the name Digital Shift.
