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

Most Recent Project: Graphic.ly {previously Take Comics}

As a child I use to sneak into my friend's closet & read his comics with white gloves & a flashlight. Recreating moments like this is what makes this continued project so much fun.

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 available & looking for something awesome to put my UX/product & design skills towards...
Are you doing something awesome? Drop me a line and tell me about it.
Or let me know if you want to see more of my work.

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 fun. (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 Burnout Paradise & Plants vs Zombies. 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 work better. Oh, & I laugh. A lot.

Elsewhere Insert random, over used, internet joke here...

  • Twitter. Oh yeah, I do that too: follow me @dutchashell
  • My Tumblr: Check out the things I liked enough to re-share
  • Raptr: Sure, I have a PS3, but that doesn't mean I have to miss out on all the fun.
  • I keep a 'short' list of stuff I care about start.io
  • I contribute to @makegames

  • And like a well loved pet, I share a never ending, delicious list with my former design partner.

From the library {feeding my curiosities makes life better}

Currently, I am attempting to read 52 Books in 52 Weeks.

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

January is going to be a free for all, as I become a more disciplined reader & learn how to write again. Each month thereafter, will be curated by a friend. Suggestions are always welcome.
