Raised on the beach, travelling the world, living in Spain, Costa Rica, Switzerland, and NYC, studying calligraphy, usability, law (yes, that's right I even went to law school for a time), having a wildly diverse group of friends, the Baha'i faith, and my Irish-American upbringing all have contributed to my vision and passion for creating websites.
For the often visually overwhelming world-wide-web I prefer a clear and usable site. That is what stands out and builds confidence. I love every aspect of web development: creative collaboration, design, code, usability, analytics.
