There might have been a few animated gifs, some kamehamehas. By 2010 I had graduated to becoming a front-end developer (thank you Flash & ActionScript 3.0 for my intro into OOP).
For the past decade and a half, I've worn many hats—frontend developer, product designer, and design director. Whatever the title, I always strive to create intuitive and accessible digital experiences. Design is for made for people, after all.
I'm currently living in Bend, Oregon. This town is an outdoor playground and does a fantastic job coaxing me away from sitting in front of laptop 24/7. My outside hobbies of skiing, thru hiking, and gawking like an idiot at nature's beauty are well supported.
