Designing and building products and stuff for good, not evil.
Tread warily!
I'm building this site in the open and am in the process of tinkering with a blog and adding more examples of work.
In the spirit of iterative design, tread warily my friend and don't mind the typos, placeholders, less polished bits and accessibility issues.
