I'm an interaction designer currently in Lawrence, Kansas working for a local news company. For the past five years I've been a professional designer/developer in Education, Advertising, and News Media. I occasionally teach.
Aside from my career I do a lot of reading and writing. I occasionally craft a public message that reflects my current thoughts on design, new media, or society.
