What I do
With nearly two decades of dedicated focus on crafting adaptive and user-centric digital experiences, I refuse to settle for the status quo. My expertise spans from laying the groundwork for robust frameworks to steering enterprise-level product designs towards modern functionality while upholding timeless UX principles.

Testimonials
Pat was always an advocate for the customer, making sure our solutions were centered on our customers, and professionally questioning feature requests from stakeholders that may have caused problems from a customer point of view.
Being a comprehensive thinker, familiarity with UI/UX, interaction designs, and front-end coding allows him to understand the limitations of what is possible for web development.
I was never really much of a "team player." Pat almost single-handedly taught me the meaning of the words "team." Without that lesson I wouldn't be very far or happy in life.
