Like most children, I was born curious. However, I am the child of an artist and a scientist. My childhood was a mix of encouraged creativity and undisciplined abandon with test tubes and table saws, both of which I have the scars to prove it. That foolhardy passion followed me throughout my life. |A| I've studied the science of people, creativity, and programming, all of which fed my childhood curiosity and have led me to what I do today - I make things better than what existed before. |B| I work with people (users, customers, clients, and colleagues) to help them understand their needs and how they can make their thing better than what existed before. |C| Most recently, my roles were to empower and manage the people who created those things; however, I've rediscovered the joy of curiosity, the creating process, and its methods, and the ever-evolving techniques for designing. |D| I've worked in start-ups (early, mid, late stages, and as a founder), consultancies, agencies, and larger corporations, holding roles of illustrator, front-end developer, information architect, ux designer, consultant, design lead, ux director, design director, head of design, and founder.
