About Me

Uruaçu, Brasil. January of 2012

Since learning HTML in 2000, I have been hand-crafting engaging user experiences for the web.

I received a B.S. in Visual Arts with a concentration in Graphic Design from SUNY New Paltzin 2007.

I am passionate about web standards, progressive enhancement, and designing for people. I enjoy reading about IX/UX, learning new skills, drawing, drumming, and traveling.

Since the summer of 2010, I have been working as Lead Web Developer/Interaction Designer at Push Design in Seattle, WA.
