Fixpert

Hi all. OMGosh, I know, I know, I haven’t posted in friggin’ AGES! Let me get you up to speed on what I’m up to, and what’s up with Fixpert.

Living in San Francisco

If you follow the site, you already knew that I moved up here in March 2008. I LOOOOOOVE it up here! I must say, a much better fit for me in LA. I’ve been asked “Fixpert, what do you miss about LA?” The only thing I can think of is the good people that I met and spent time with there. Other than that…um, nothing — no offense, the place just isn’t for me.

Senior User Experience Designer

While I don’t like to mentioned my employers on my personal web site, I can tell you I am the Senior User Experience Designer for a smallish startup in the City. Yes “the City” with a capital “C” that’s how we do up here. I’m really digging the work I’m doing.

Startup life is much busier, more demanding overall, and moves much more quickly than my behemoth corporate life of yesteryear. This has its obvious pros and cons. I get great satisfaction actually seeing my work go live and seeing the influence that I can have over the product in a small company. That said, I haven’t updated this site the practically entire time I’ve been working there so…there’s that.

I’m Drawing More than Ever

I love drawing. Maybe more than I love cookies and puppies. Well, maybe not puppies. But I can (and do) draw puppies eating cookies and get to put together the greatest things in the world in one clump on a piece of paper.

I’m doing a fair amount of freelance illustration when I have time (haha!) and I’m really enjoying it. I’m also drawing quite a bit at my new job.

Segue of the Century

Now that I finally fixed the broken layouts all over this site (which was really easy using YUI grids) I plan on posting many many more drawings, and/or just starting a separate site dedicated entirely to my illustration work. If I do that, I’ll certainly pimp the heck out of it here on Fixpert.

Good day!
