Originally from Hawaii, I studied cognitive science in college in Southern California and in graduate school in Boston. I moved on from that career —and that cold weather— to work in new media, first in the San Francisco Bay Area and finally in North Carolina. My focus is responsive front-end development; I also have years of experience in graphic design and photo editing, and know Photoshop inside and out. Side interests include the visual presentation of data, team dynamics, cognitive development, and systems of notating folk music. I enjoy sharing what I know on StackOverflow, and I'm an active member of the open-source community.

Sites listed as "Site by…" are agency projects which may have been touched by other developers since launch. In some cases I brought in a coworker to work on a specific component of the site, but as of this writing all are primarily my work.
