my resume
DESCRIPTION
I cross the streams of my artistic roots, technical savvy, business acumen, and my fascination with human behavior to create really awesome interactive experiences. My work with a broad variety of organizations (ranging from smaller operations to fortune 500 companies) enables me to gracefully plug a user-centered approach into virtually any organization or project. My passion is helping individuals and organizations understand and then adopt the principles and techniques of user-centered design.TRANSCRIPT
