About: I work at an information architecture consultancy firm in Toronto where I plan, design and evaluate websites and web applications of all shapes and sizes.

My degree is in computer engineering, and I once worked as a programmer in an agile shop. I haven't had the opportunity to work as an interaction designer in an agile situation, but I am always interested in learning agile design techniques for when the situation arises.

I'm constantly trying to balance my technical background with design education. I'm currently interested in learning more about graphic design and design processes.
