Inclusive means All users

I'm a designer and developer with over 12 years of experience leading and contributing to Agile teams.

I craft enterprise-level and SaaS solutions for All users, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, economic status and other diverse backgrounds.

If you care inclusion and diversity, I'd love to learn about your company and see how I can help, feel free to send me a message!
