I’m a UX designer, developer, and creative tinkerer with over 10 years of experience in the interactive field. I’m currently a UX protyper and designer at Hulu. I think great design comes from asking why a lot. Before Hulu, I was the UI lead at IPTV startup, and before that I ran my own web design company and freelanced on a huge range of digital projects. I’ve advised startups on design and digital strategy and sit on the board of directors of GrooveBoston. To me, user experience design is the glue that bonds technology’s potential to a healthy love of our digitized lives, and creating experiences that work with people is what I love to do. I have a blog about UX sound design called Beyond the Beep, I produce lots of music, and I think squash is the best sport ever.
