ABOUT ME

I was reared from birth to appreciate good interaction design. Growing up in a Mac family, I developed a deep love of intuitive user experiences, and a healthy persecution complex being an Apple fan in the 90s. Hoping to cash in on the dot-com boom, I started my own web design company in eighth grade, several months before the crash. Not to be thwarted, I have pursued my interest in design and technology ever since, and find myself living in a touch-based world created by the company I was once mocked for adoring. Not that I’m bitter or anything.

(More) seriously though, I just really love looking at, learning about, creating, and using (good and bad) user interfaces. I’m interested in everything from big picture interaction patterns to the appropriate opacity for a one-pixel bevel highlight. I want to make stuff that’s easy to use, nice to look at, and hopefully at least a little fun.

I am experienced in all relevant design software.
