I design and develop user interfaces.
I've spent the last 12 years working independently as an application designer and developer for a variety of business types and clientele, including: funded startups, local and national non-profits, gaming and interactive agencies, news/editorial and publishing companies, and even a few Fortune 500's. Prior to freelancing, I spent 10 years in a variety of UI related roles, leveling up and acquiring new skill sets necessary to support the web's rapid adoption as a platform for business.
Although I tend to be insatiably curious and therefore relish any out-of-ordinary opportunity, my favorite projects tend to involve some degree of design challenge - translating a complex (sometimes critical) idea, process, or product into an understandable nugget of consumable knowledge for its intended audience.
I'm also a builder of a tangible something or other now and then. I have tools that get used. Restoring life into the old and the unassuming brings me some sense of happy that seems to last. Incorporating a bit of personality and expression into this kind of work is a door I like to leave open.
