For those of you who don’t know me or haven’t been following what’s been going on with my life, I’m planning to move back to the Boston area after spending over two years in Austin, TX. While I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent in Texas, I always knew that I would eventually make it back [...]
After reading Seth Gottlieb’s Social Network Policy and seeing similar posts on the subject, I figured I’d come up with my own policy, particularly around how I update social networks.

When I was first told of the opportunity to join the project in St. Thomas, I was genuinely excited. Besides being able to do the work that I’m trained to do, and being around people whose company I generally enjoy, the stage for all of this was set on an island in the Caribbean. The [...]
St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands was the destination for my last assignment. A company for which we did work wanted our help, and I was staffed to assist with User Experience work. On the surface, this was fantastic for a number of reasons: despite living in the warmer, central Texas climate, I welcomed [...]
