Designing Interfaces for Human Connection

Hey, I'm Dave. At 26, I create & manage a LOT of websites, focusing on user experience and figuring out what actually makes people click. I like to think my design flow and spatial awareness come from the years I used to ballroom dance... though these days, that agility is mostly reserved for the volleyball court. When I'm offline, I'm usually deep into a heavy fantasy novel, out camping, or hitting a hiking trail. Keeping me grounded through all of it is Frankie, my miniature dachshund and the world's tiniest, most demanding co-worker. I love building cool things that actually work, and I'm always down to talk strategy, design, or the outdoors.
