First Generation Graduate

Hi, I am Charlie.
Multimedia Designer focused on usability and integrated design.

Iโ€™m based in San Diego, working on web and digital products that need to be both simple and reliable. Most of my work lives in SaaS tools and internal platforms, where clarity matters more than decoration.

I started my career designing consumer apps, but quickly moved into more complex systemsโ€”dashboards, workflows, and tools used daily by teams. That shift shaped how I think: structure first, visuals second.

I care about making things understandable. Reducing friction, removing noise, and helping users move forward without thinking too much about the interface itself.

Outside of work, I spend time exploring visual ideas, photography, and small side projects that let me experiment more freely.
