Crosby
Albany, New York
My background in the visual arts, technology, and education gives me a unique skillset and insight within the field of information technology. My strong sense for visual design has proven invaluable in striving for better usability and accessibility in communication and information technology. I learned to adapt and empathize with others from my experience in higher education by observing how people are motivated, think, and learn.
