I'm a web and print designer and freelance illustrator, at home in code and on paper. I enjoy the challenges of designing and building websites: figuring out what people want to do (especially if it's different things for different users), building the visual language that will get them what they need, making it pretty. I like working out a nifty little piece of jQuery that will provide guidance or filter information, simplify development, or just spiff things up. I love a good data visualization project. I appreciate it when IE behaves.

But I also enjoy print work, with its physicality and (relative) typographic freedom. The narrative tends to be more linear (whether it's actual fiction, or the flow of a marketing headline down to the call to action), and there's nothing better than a good story. I appreciate the feel of ink on paper, and if it's oily, smelly ink coming off a hand-turned drum, even better.

I've been working for a number of years in both fields, adding a degree in illustration along the way.
