Principles
I believe in Purpose, People, Process, and Pixels
Purpose
A well-defined purpose is the best motivator for overall happiness and great work.
People
It's all about people. Treat them with respect, listen to them, and try to help them.
Process
I obsess over processes, whether it's establishing, improving, or finding the right level needed.
Pixels
A product should work well AND look good, but never at the cost of accessibility.
