About

Here’s a little more about me!

I’ve been developing web sites, web applications, and front ends for software for 10 years. Through many years of work I’ve designed and worked with teams to create e-mail, financial, social networking, survey, forums, client systems and many other types of specialty web applications.

I’ve run my own design business, lead multi-project teams, acted as project manager, user experience designer, seo marketer, and consultant. Here is a current ever changing list of my skill set.

    • I have an extreme passion for Interaction Design & IA. Sometimes it’s a frustrating career, but in the end I find it rewarding for both the challenge and the design experiences along the way..

    I hope you enjoy reading the articles I put out here. I do my best to have at least 2 written a month. It’s a lot of hard work (one article can take up 15 hours to write) and as you can see, currently I don’t have any ads out here. I love interacting with my users and want this to be a fun site to learn, share, and explore. I have a lot of knowledge to offer and what’s better than free knowledge!

    Through the site I interact with YOU in the following ways.

    I follow the design conference circuit, as well as share lots of great web sites on a weekly / daily basis – Follow Me on: Twitter @uidesignguide

    Enough about me on with the learning!

    Twitter is a great way to share new and exciting resources with all our viewers. Each day I provide links and commentary on all things UI. You can find UI resources, UI design examples, new techniques, and a lot more by Following @UIDESIGNGUIDE on Twitter.

    The idea for this design blog first came about two years ago at SXSW Interactive.

    Currently UI Design guide is in its fourth redesign. This site takes quite a bit of time to maintain as well as write the content. Just like UI Design this site is a passion that keeps evolving.

    Inside, I cover articles on many topics icluding: lessons, prototyping methods, agile UX methods, design reviews, design challenges, application features, and of course design experiences, just to name a few.

    With all the blogs out there you may be asking yourself who are you to give advice? That's a fair question. If you have a moment feel free to read about my design history.
