I feel fortunate to be designing web experiences. 10+ years of making web products have taught me to love and respect the web browser. I think of it as a common dining table, to which we all come to consume and nourish, with our individual colors, needs, desires and boundaries. In my capacity, I see it my responsibility to own the process of imagining, materializing and implementing a design: by envisioning potential problems upfront, by continuously optimizing user experience, by understanding the ever-changing technology landscape, by bridging the gap between product and development. If this sounds up your alley, let's have a talk.
