Author
I'm a web designer, user interface developer and teacher. I'm part of the team at Dev Bootcamp Chicago. In 2011, I founded the Columbus, Ohio chapter of Girl Develop It, a group that provides introductory coding classes aimed at women, and I currently co-lead the Girl Develop It Chicago chapter. I speak regularly about topics related to design, development and diversity in the technology field, and focus on finding new ways to make both technology and technology education accessible to everyone.
I have a kid I like a lot. I also like good films, comic books and frequently changing my hair color.

Deliberatepixel
For many years, my primary web presence was Deliberatepixel.com, so there is a good chance you know me from that and might be wondering what happened to it. Nothing has - I just outgrew it. It remains live, with full archive, but I have transferred some of my longer pieces to this site's own archive for easier access. If you feel like reading the greatest hits on paper, you can still get a copy of the Deliberatepixel book.
