Hi Michael!

… or other lovely people from CenterPoint Energy.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to look at my work! Based on the job description and the notes I’ve received, I think I’d be a great fit for the User Designer IV position. I figured I’d save you some time and point you to the items that might be more important to you.

A note: most of my work that’s strictly UX-related (for Key Lime/federal agency and LyondellBasell) has been confidential. I either can’t show any of it, or have to remove the actual data, and whitewash it before it’s on my portfolio. As such, the amount of content is a little light for the experience I have.
