MY SUPERPOWER: MAKING COMPLICATED THINGS SUPER SIMPLE.
I’ve been working in the UX industry for nearly two decades and am the author of two books on web design: Color for Web Design and The Smashing Idea Book. Writing for the tech industry for almost twenty years has honed my ability to break down complex topics into clear, approachable, and empowering content that helps readers dive into subjects they may have once found intimidating. I love crafting educational experiences that spark those eureka moments, where readers suddenly “get it” and feel excited to learn more.
At my core, I’ve always been a storyteller. Whether it’s through fiction, marketing, instructional guides, or online courses, I thrive on experimenting with different formats and techniques to connect with people through the stories we tell. I’m passionate about lifelong learning and making information on virtually any topic accessible to the average person. I believe story is one of the most powerful tools we have to engage, educate, and inspire.
