xhatch (pronounced "crosshatch") is my design brand. Its namesake is inspired by the drawing technique. My professional work + passion is design—particularly in the digital/interactive/web ecosystem.

My typical work is in email design, user interaction design + web design. I don't consider myself a developer, but a designer who can write good front end code and has a good understanding of the implementation process and functionality.

To see my work experience, you can find me on LinkedIn or go old skool by downloading a PDF resume.

When I'm not working, I'm often at a coffee shop (Zoka Coffee is my favorite) working on projects, reading, learning code or painting. I frequently like to tweet + blog about art, design + tech.
