Working from the perspective of a UX designer and a front-end developer, I design features & enhancements for our two brands: Peter Millar and G/FORE.

Basically, a Photoshop jockey. Spent a lot of time color correcting, and processing thousands of images (no, really). I also helped design marketing assets for social media, our e-commerce website, and emails.
