About Me

I received a BA in Visual Arts with a concentration in Graphic Design from SUNY New Paltz. Since learning HTML in 2000, I have been creating user experiences on the web. I'm passionate about web standards, progressive enhancement, and designing for people. I enjoy reading about IX/UX, learning new skills, drawing, drumming, and traveling.

Currently, I am working as a Web Developer/Designer at Push Design in Seattle, WA.
