After stumbling into the emerging field of web design in 2000, I knew instantly that I wanted to do it for the rest of my life. Over the years, I have worn many hats including UX designer, information architect, graphic designer, illustrator, product designer, creative director, and slide jockey.

Sometimes I write.

I wouldn’t call it a blog exactly. But yeah, every now and then I get the urge to write something down. Topics cover everything from design to dumb observations. I urge you not to take any of it too seriously.

Design, it's what I do.

Both my profession and my craft. It isn’t super hero work, but it’s how I feel I can help make the world a better place in some small way. I’ve been fortunate in my career to have worked for these great companies.
