Purpose statement

My purpose statement introduces this site, saying:

I design and develop for the web in southern Indiana. I believe every word, byte, and pixel can improve how we care for each other and the earth.

This is what it means to me:

I design and develop

I am a user experience designer and front-end developer. I am a generalist, skilled in both building the right thing and building it in the right way.

for the web

At its best, the web platform invites everyone to connect to people and ideas.

in southern Indiana.

I grew up and live in the hills of southern Indiana.

I believe every word, byte, and pixel

How we use content, data, and visuals matter, even at the smallest scale.

can improve

We have the choice to understand needs, balance tradeoffs, and solve problems.

how we care

All people should take responsibility and serve in love as they are able.

for each other

We should embrace our diversity and work together to raise the human condition.

and the earth.

Our legacy should be to leave our one planetary home better than we found it.
