about me

I am the CEO & co-founder of tipjoy.com: simple social payments for great people, causes and content.

I'm an interaction designer. I develop and refine the concept, craft the user experience, create the visual design, and implement the front-end (HTML/CSS).

I've done this for applications on the internet, mobile phones, intranets, and government research projects. For more detailed info about all that, read my resume.

I received my master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University.

Some just-for-fun side projects of mine: tweet by snail mail and (still a work in progress) alphabettr.

My love of making goes beyond digital. I stitch, sew & needlepoint, play violin, am a hobbyist interior designer and have an ongoing stream of DIY home improvement projects.
