Welcome
Welcome to my personal portal; an online, interactive, personal brochure, of sorts. It serves as a convenient reference when meeting people, and a playground for experiments.
Aside from capturing a high level curriculum vitae, I like to use this site to experiment with design. For example, I'm now playing with the look and feel of color schemes and responsive grid designs.
Similar to deliberate designs for sound, scent, and the feel and heft of products, visual design makes a substantial difference to the success of any web project. Some designs elicit feelings, good or bad, and those are associated with the products and people involved.
Navigation Widget Experiment
One of my older design experiments is this visual toy for site navigation. You can use the widget below to navigate the sections of this site. The photos provide visual context for those sections, and the animated movement and color give it some playful focus. This widget is best experienced with a mouse cursor.
