I started building websites in 1999 for campus groups and departments at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, including the disability services provider office where I learned about standards based design, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility. Since then, I've applied and expanded upon those skills. I've worked for the Univerity of North Carolina Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, SelectMinds (coporate social networking), Wunderman (direct marketing and advertising), Comcast Interactive Media, WhoSay, and ADP. I'm now working at United Shore, helping to bring better UX and UI to the wholesale mortgage industry.
