I AM...

a web generalist with over 16 years of experience, during which time I’ve designed, coded, managed databases and servers—a little bit of everything. I’ve worked mostly on small teams which meant learning whatever it took to execute a specific vision.

Currently I am focused on interaction design and user experience.
