Designing successful experiences requires many skills. Creativity, systems knowledge, precise communication, a layered understanding of business, and a finely-tuned sense of empathy for the users who rely on your services. I've been lucky. My journey has taken me to all those places, and many more. I've co-founded companies. I've written strategies, requirements, and estimates, and led large teams of designers and developers. Over the course of my career, I've worked with global companies and large agencies, as well as startups and boutiques. I've designed experiences, interfaces, environments, and entire products. I've been a consultant and a company man. And through it all, I've been someone who simply loves the work.
