I have been practicing the art and science of web development since the previous century and enjoy guiding students to constantly improve their techniques and adapt to an ever-changing industry. I have worked for or collaborated with state and federal government agencies, an AgTech company, car auction and dealership websites, the online identity platform Okta, and assorted freelance projects. I am not a designer. I teach skills needed to work with a designer to create web-based user interfaces that result in positive user experiences. In the absence of a designer, my students should be able to provide simple but effective designs based on intentional, informed reasons. I currently live in Seattle, WA with far too many cats.
