About Me

I’m a frontend-focused designer-dev who enjoys turning designs into real, usable systems—not just static UI. A lot of my recent work has involved building apps that connect to real business logic, like a rewards system integrated with a POS, where the frontend reflects live data and workflows. I like working in that space where UI meets real-world complexity—handling edge cases, user flows, and integrations.

The difference between achieving and following isn’t talent—it’s the extra mile. Required gets you started. Extra gets you there. Dave Able

What I Do

Design

After Design School, I dove in headfirst, working for the Houston Ad Agency, Nelson & Co., where merging my design knowledge with my programming skills was put to the test.

Development

I've been writing code since the late 90s. Thinking in logic and design systems, has exploded my client base, as I reduce friction between design and development by doing both naturally.

Director

For quite some time, I held a small freelancing business. Allowing me to work on projects of many varieties. From WolfGang Puck Iced Coffee, to DebtBook, and many verticals in between.
