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

Most Recent Project: Copious

One of my all time favorite projects, Copious presents a new kind of social marketplace; one with a heart. A smart and dedicated team has worked tirelessly to prove out that technology can bring more personality and sophistication to social shopping than typical models have strived.

I am currently looking for full time Product Design challenges –something to pour my curiosity, 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 product/ux designer with a background that includes curiosities & research into 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, I love games (and have been known to dream some up). I also make things. Mostly out of socks or sugar.

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

New ideas and the combination of old ones have been flitting about in my head recently.
Flights of fancy, mostly, but my roots & hands love the process of the make.
So I'm super happy to announce that soon I will have a home for all my 'other' projects, collaborations, etc...
