- Hi.

I am an award-winning

human-centered design leader.
- I'm good at it, no matter what you call it.
About Me
- I went to art school because I wanted to draw comic books, but became a designer when I realized we have the power to shape the world and how people understand it.
- I’m a web design OG. I built my first site in 1994, using notepad. I remember when HTML got background images. I got paid to design my first website in 1998. I built my first responsive web site in 2007.
- I play bass guitar well and regular guitar badly. Regular guitar badly is way more fun.
- I believe that if you truly love something, that love is unconditional.
- This is how I know I love Pizza, Dogs, Coffee, and Batman.
- It’s also how I know I don’t really love tacos. I just like-like tacos.
- I’m left-handed, and I think it prepared me for being a UX designer. Have you ever tried explaining to a right-handed designer why using left-handed scissors is harder than becoming ambidextrous?
- I like learning things that take a lifetime to master.
- I think clear is kind.
- I take a number of things very seriously, but myself is not one of them.
