More often than not, I design in code, in the browser, and sometimes in Figma or Sketch or any tool other than a hammer. And don’t forget about paper, too.
I care a lot about language, whether code or content. Visual design and imagery, of course, though they tend to come a little later. And all the details between design and development, from sketch to share and ship.
I’m a designer who believes writing is designing (lean content first). And the value of collaborating early and often with others. Making content and experiences accessible and inclusive isn’t a task or requirement. It’s a fundamental part of who I am and how I approach my work.
I do — and teach — a leader and educator at heart, teaching design, and writing courses. I’ve taught at colleges in and around Boston (make it in Massachusetts ) for two decades (and then some). I currently work and teach in Prague. Na zdraví!
After hours, you can find me out on my next foodie quest, salvaging old tech, or enjoying a cozy rainy evening at home.
