who i am

i am part developer and part designer, which i like to refer to as a 'devsigner'. i exist in the gray area between both worlds and work to bridge the divide. i have been a devsigner for over 5 years now, working with various technologies; from apple to microsoft, web to desktop, touch to good old fashioned keyboard and mouse, i've both designed and developed with it all. now, some might say that what i do is not important or necessary. what i do benefits both the true designer and the developer. i have the eye for detail that designers love, while keeping the practicality to make it all work that developers need.
