👋 I'm Griffin a UX and Product Designer based in the Greater Boston area with ties to Santa Monica on the west coast. I'm a problem solver at heart and I take that passion into every part of my life and project I work on. Coming from an educational background in interactive media and game design, I'm always looking for ways to engage players (users) in my work. I'm not a big fan of sitting still, some may even call me restless. I'm always looking for work to engage with or something new to learn and master.

I'm proud to have held many different roles over my life, giving me a diverse set of experiences to shape my worldview. From learning teamwork and comradery on the football field in high school. To advocating for the student body as the representative of student affairs during my 3 years on Becker College's Student Governance Board. Developing my leadership skills and honing my interpersonal skills as a New Student Orientation leader in my final year of college. I am great at leveraging project goals through the lens of stakeholder expectations and client needs from my experience working Sales in a B2B wholesale craft beer distributor. I excel at bringing all those skills together to bring unique and effective solutions to all the projects I work on.

But most of all I love designing and building products. However I'm a frim believer that building products in a void isn't enough. We need to engage with the user on a personal level, understand their wants, needs, and desires. And take that into building the best possible product for everyone involved.

When I'm not working or at my desk, I'm often sat at the table playing Dungeons and Dragons. Either rolling crits with my rogue or sat behind the DM screen building out fantastic worlds that I facilitate for my friends to enjoy. My passion for creation even extends to my hobbies as well, building out scale models of Gundam plastic models with fine details and parts as small as an eraser head. And not to mention telling my own stories with my home cooking that I show off frequently for my friends

When the weather is nice you can find me out of my apartment, you can often catch me hiking along the Wachusett Reservoir. Or trying to find the best restaurant in my city, the search is never ending. On weekends, however, you'll be able to find me at home rooting for Ferrari and Charles Leclerc in Formula One!
