I began my career in 1989 with a house full of Macintosh SE-30s running Illustrator 1.6 connected to a bank of 1200 baud modems receiving postscript files. I had founded one of the world’s first digital service bureaus...but we had a twist. We were running national ads. We were in the woods outside of Austin, Texas. We loved Macs. And we were 24 hours-a-day. This introduced me to three things that inform my approach to work ever since. I was surrounded by the best creative on on Earth. I was blessed to work side by side some of the smartest people I had ever seen. And the pace was totally insane. Continuing with my role as interactive developer for Frog Design in 1998 which led to a decade of solo web development in San Francisco culminating in my current role as UX Designer at ADITIVE, Inc., my jobs have always required multidisciplinary proficiency in interaction design as well as project management, product development, and more recently, marketing and social media initiatives. I’ve spent my time on small teams that share responsibilities for quick turnaround, iterating repeatedly until perfect.
