OG Web Developer Turns to the UI / UX Side 

Biography

I once had a boss hand me a pamphlet and tell me to "read up on this, it could be big one day." That sixteen page document was distributed by an organization called the NCSA and it detailed a brand new coding language called HTML.

Yes, I know this dates me a little. But it also demonstrates how long I've been working in this business.

Moving on from those early days of web development, I spent the past 15 years focused on UI / UX -- talking to end users, programmers, and subject matter experts and leading them through each UX step: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test. Creating low-fidelity and high-fidelity mock-ups. Building prototypes. Then when everyone is happy, I code the HTML layouts and CSS, working with programmers to establish the final look and feel.
