My name is Simon Gutkovich and I’m a generalist designer who thrives on utilizing a diverse set of talents to get stuff done. For this reason I was excited to see your "Designer" opening

I love making stuff. From coding and designing websites to drawing portraits [ ] to creating ad campaigns to shooting and editing videos to building a cardboard car garage [] for my 3 year-old! I'm an out-of-the-box thinker and proud of it.

I think I will be a valuable asset to your team given my ability to create and collaborate with members throughout the entire design process: research, prototyping, designing, development and deployment.

Due to unforseen circumstances I have had the pleasure of being a stay at home dad for the last few years. I have kept my skills sharp by designing and building my own portfolio site from scratch, as well as working on various independent projects which can all be found at SIMEdesign.net. (Feel free to check it out on a mobile device.)

Check out my latest project: Google Careers site redesign: a high fidelity prototype built with the Material Design Lite library.

thoughtrobot is not only a forward thinking company but also sounds like a great place to grow, learn and really make an impact. I am ready to rejoin the workforce and help shape the future of design at such a dynamic organization.
