I've been designing experiences at Walgreens.com since late 2010.  Prior to that, I worked for Target.com, and before that, I spent five years at the independent software shop, Pathfinder Development. 

Earlier in my career, I worked as an Animator and Motion Graphic Designer for a production house, and freelanced on the side building websites for small companies. 

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY (I still miss it sometimes), and moved to Chicago about 15 years ago. 

I love to study and practice design, and I feel lucky to be able to do it for a living.      I'm also an art lover--specifically painting, which is actually nothing like designing. 

My goals for this year are to write more on the topic of design, continue to study web-analytics, and learn more about Elastic search, which powers a growing number of e-commerce platforms.
