About me
I believe good technology is inclusive, helps people achieve their goals, and gives them time back. My work is guided by three principles: (1) a deep respect for the craft, grounded in a solid understanding of HTML and CSS (2) an awareness of human bias and behavioral psychology and (3) a belief that visual experiences should speak to intuition first.
