Bits {wherein I tell you about what I've been up to}

Most Recent Project: SecondVerse

For the past year or so, I've had the pleasure of partnering with Ryan Freitas. In the process I've gotten the chance to work with some awesome start-ups, and *bonus*, earned a mentor to boot.

the Bobs {we're gonna bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that's the usual deal}

I am currently looking for new projects for 2011. –something awesome to pour my UX and product design experience into... Are you doing something awesome? Drop me a line and tell me about it.

About {wherein I tell you a vague overview about little ol' mio}

By day, I am a ux designer with a background that includes curiosities/research in psychology, all things science, & traditional printmaking. How I stumbled into & came to love this field of study & practice is a curious one... (it is also the story of how I came to own & manage my design firm)
By night, I am a typophile & book loving nerd, who blows off steam by playing & dreaming of building my own games. I also make things. Mostly out of socks or felt.

But pretty much, all the time, I love solving problems and trying to make the things people love better. Oh, & I laugh. A lot.

My Someday Game Something to make all tuesdays better

I started working on a concept for a Unicorns vs Narwhals game a while ago & am currently working on the prologue... There are also plans for a fat 'cute' animal series too.

Currently, I am attempting to restart my 52x52 project (where I make a genuine attempt to read 52 Books in 52 Weeks).

You can follow along: "52 Books_ 52 Weeks".

I am always looking for recommended readings, please feel free to share your favorites.
