My design work is primarily focused on digital branding/identity, marketing and political hactivism.

I work at Chapter Three in San Francisco and became acquainted with the team while working as the creative lead for BADCamp. I've been on the BADCamp team for the past three years and continue to serve as the main designer for both identity and collateral. I'm also on the New Hampshire Rebellion and the Mayday Political Action Committee design teams.

When I'm not at work, you may find me at a Drupal user group meeting, hacking democracy, going to electronic music shows, researching neurobiology or vegging out in front of the xbox with a nice IPA. I'm also quite fond of experimenting with LED lights and fascinated by their technical and aesthetic potential such as making plants grow, or faux fur glow!

My casual interest in programming grew into a passion while I studied arithmetic dynamics at Amherst College, reinforced by a lifelong fascination with analytical problem solving, technology, and puzzles. At Fuzz, I establish standards for clean and modern collaborative development, constantly expanding the core capabilities of my team by researching and evaluating emerging technologies.

We build standards-based, beautiful web interfaces and blazing fast APIs for mobile apps. We keep up with emerging web standards and adopt new tools every day. We strive to document, test, and automate every aspect of our development workflow. We build web applications, not websites.
