About Me

I have been a Designer, Writer, and now Educator at Balsamiq. I use my 10 years of experience as a UX designer to help teach user interface design basics and wireframing to Balsamiq's audience of mostly non-designers. My primary interests include UX, wireframing, front-end web development, and remote working. The common thread in all of my work has been helping people and technology get along better. I write for the Balsamiq blog and UI education site and have been published on UX Mastery, the freeCodeCamp and Treehouse blogs, and elsewhere.
