Hello!

Looking for a creative consultant? I have many (many) years of experience in design and development, working with both large corporations and lean startups. I can manage projects from strategy and IA all the way through development and support, pulling in outside specialists as needed. I’m schooled in visual communications, trained in Lean UX and agile development, and passionate about educational, creative and conscious technology. Let’s make the world a better place!
