I've been told on multiple occasions that I'm odd because I adore designing everything. It satisfies a craving I have to make a difference in people's lives because, with every successful launch, I get to see success in its many forms. A group of users ready to enjoy their job again, a successful company on the road to long-term growth, or an ad campaign that brings in huge gains for the client. Getting down into the research to understand a new company, old software, or a crazy business process is fun for me. I like finding new ways to solve problems and get excited about software improvements.
These things and more keep me in front of my desk.
