Me, So Far
I've spent 21 years in the technology world, 15 of it in design. During that time I've created desktop, mobile, and over-the-phone applications, and built and run teams for the same. My design journey started at a medium size company, where I actually introduced the idea of a user-centered design process and grew the team from 3 to 14, including a usability lab.
From there I spent 6 years in the start-up world, helping 3 companies get going. All three have been successful. Before arriving at Microsoft, I also spent time as an independent consultant, working on geographically dispersed project teams.
Today, after years of hands-on, collaborative, and management work, I'm able to both synthesize what I've learned into unique perspectives on problems and potential solutions, as well as move easily between detailed design work and high-level envisioning.
