Back in 2010, I started brainspin with a desire to design compelling and engaging apps. For over 7 years, I have designed many high profile web and iPhone applications. The applications range from 3D medical aided web applications to project management applications for niche industries. 

I am also the founder of a large local design organization, Salt Lake Designers, where I and other local influencers help cultivate the talents of up and coming UX designers through workshops and panel discussions.
