I design user experiences...
I am a web designer with a techy science background. My designs evince a problem-solving orientation; I see solutions as systemic and architectural. I draw a bright line between design-as-decoration and design-as-planning. I do the second kind more than the first kind.
What I Do Best
- Graphic design and art direction
- Front-end web design and development
- Orthogonal application architecture
- Usability and interface design
- Information architecture
- Web technologies: (X)HTML, CSS, JavaScript/JQuery, MySQL, PHP, Drupal, Python
