I am a husband & father, Quality Assurance Analyst, UX enthusiast, and Portlander (and trying to keep it in that order).
Over the last ten years I've had my hands in many facets of design and technology. As a creative thinker, I try to design what users aren't aware they already want or need. I keep my design skills sharp by developing on personal projects, watching design trends, and staying ahead of the curve. I make a point to incorporate at least one new challenging element or facet in each design project. And I'm always centered on the thought, "who will use this?"
Pardon the dust as I freshen things up a bit...
