Hey, I’m Tim
I’m a designer located in Chicago IL., with a focus on UI/UX and human-centered design. I also have strengths in branding strategies and design research. My work focuses on thorough research, questioning, and user-input. I am a recent graduate from Indiana Wesleyan University who is a problem-solver and am passionate about understanding the way things work so that we might understand the way things could be.
Outside of my work, I’m passionate about guitar, playing for about six years, and hoping to get into bass. Along with this, reading is a huge obsession of mine. I’m the type who will sit down to read Wikipedia for several hours and get invested in the history of modern sanitation. I’m also a massive horror fan, with Stephen King being my absolute favorite. I’m generally the type to get incredibly invested in a new hobby every month until something eventually sticks so it’s pretty common for me to show up with a random new phase.
Feel free to contact me for design work or just a cup of coffee together (I’m also a massive coffee buff). Let me know if you want my resume, my card, my blood type, or really anything in general.

* The: “So that we might understand the way things could be” after the problem-solver sentence is vague and not saying anything. Either be more specific or take it out.
* “Outside of my work, I’m passionate about guitar, playing for about six years, and hoping to get into bass.” —–> Change to: Outside of my work I’m passionate about the guitar (playing for about six years), and hoping to get into bass.

* You overuse adverbs (words that end in -ly). I took a lot of them out in the last paragraph because they’re filler words. Your sentence doesn’t change in meaning if they’re taken out, and it makes it sound stronger.
* I also took out vague statements that didn’t add anything of merit to the sentence.
