Why I Care About Design.

I fell in love with software design because I was obsessed with surfing the web. Over time I became drawn to experiences and platforms that encourage people to think, learn, create, and communicate. I believe if we're going to use interfaces for such purposes, it's important that they are designed to optimize for human fulfillment and creation. (not just our attention...)

I enjoy holding that responsiblity and the creative problem solving that comes with it.
