Working on the experience and interface of products. The brand and marketing strategy around those products. Internal politics. Wireframing. Coding/Prototyping. Drawing abstract representations of our position. Forging paths with legal and creative. Creating style guides and patterns. Leading charges to align design across internal teams and contractors. Wrangling outside design specialists. Interviewing potential employees. Conceptualizing product definitions and naming conventions. Building requirements documentation with other engineers and designers. Support and helping fill tickets to better understand our customers from the front-lines. User experience testing. User interviews. Sharing all findings through comprehensive documentation. Eating too many snacks. 12 hours a day thinking about the product - it's benefits - how to convey them - the people it can help - the people on our team - and how to clearly tell the world about the power of our product. Something like that.

I have been employed from the time I was 12 years old. I began as a bagger at a grocery store and have done the following: bagger, checker, stocker, manager, prep cook, personal assistant, lighting designer, video store clerk, security guard, handyman, painter, fabricator, cabinet maker, bartender, cashier, production assistant, art handler, art installer, general construction, web designer, performance artist, songwriter, and probably a few more things. I have written more than one album, toured Europe twice, performed in more than 11 countries, and shown artwork in 7 states. I can say that during the time spent at each of these jobs, I have acquired a wide range of skills and sharpened my tastes. I feel that it would be useless for me to mention the names of restaurants and grocery stores long since closed. What you should take away from this is that I am a hard worker. I always have been. I always will be. I am currently focusing in the field of web development but my heart is really in problem solving. The web is just a fun problem. I want to get back into solving how to make pop songs as soon as i can.
