DURDEN

Hello

My name is Andrew and I am an user experience designer from Miami. I specialize in beautiful, responsive concepts and am skilled in information architecture and interaction design. Through research, study, and iteration, crafting the perfect experience is a passion of mine. I thrive when pushed out of my comfort zone and can't wait to explore new challenges and continue my pursuit of knowledge.
