About

I like the hands on approach. I get involved in every step of the process from concept to build. Learning about everyone’s tasks and skills gives me a perspective I use to make a better contribution to every project.

I get excited by clever programming. New tricks that shed some of the old paradigms away are the ultimate source of advancement.

I admire design solutions that make it look easy and obvious. A user not noticing that something worked so well is the highest praise a designer can get.

If you have to explain it, it’s not good enough. You can’t be afraid to go back to the drawing boards, all the way back to the message if you have to.
