“Web design today is more polished than ever—but in all that polish, we’ve smoothed out a lot of the personality. We’ve traded quirks for conventions and spontaneity for systems.” — Andy Clarke

I'm currently seeking a new UI/UX Product Design role. Please boost

7+ years experience in SaaS Product Design and two decades doing all kinds of visual design.

Based in Oakland, California

https://daught.me

Hello!

By day I am a UI & Visual Product Designer and obsess over process improvement. In my own time I'm way into single-player games, discovering new foods and recipes to cook, and my two corgis.

Born and raised in Wichita, KS and currently living in the Seattle metro area.

I am excited to be presenting an accessibility workshop for #InnovateUS. I will be focusing on taking a role-based approach for accessibility. Subject-matter experts (SME) have their role, but too often responsibilities in government are hardened and accessibility becomes someone else's responsibility. Taking a role-based approach can fix barriers earlier in the project's lifecycle.

Hey there, fediverse. I’m looking for a new role, preferably as an individual contributor where I can apply my keen eye for detail and experience across visual design, interaction design, prototyping, and design systems.

I am available immediately and open to remote, hybrid, or on-site roles (located in Manchester, UK). I appreciate any advice or leads you can offer. Thanks in advance!

I'm a #python programmer by day, and by night I do whatever I am currently obsessed with. My obsessions, in no particular order include:

#wiki software, #gamedev, #keyboards, #robots, #circuitpython, #micropython, #tinwhistle, #ocarina, #drawing, #webdesign, #typography, #visualdesign, #industrialdesign, #electronics, #boardgames, #minipainting, #usability, #handhelds, #rcheli, #roguelike
