About Me

As a kid, I drew the human figure from my imagination. Then I went to art school and learned how to draw from a model. Far from being a squelch on my imagination, I discovered that this disciplined approach to drawing yielded far richer results.

Fast forward to the dotcom years, when I designed interfaces according to my perception of common sense. Then I went to work for a Fortune 100 company with a user experience team and learned about goal-directed design. Far from cramping my style, I discovered that this disciplined approach also yields far richer results.
