I make things for screens. Or that's what I usually tell people when they inevitably ask what I do.
But it would be more accurate to say I try to make the screens we're staring at all day actually useful, maybe even beneficial.
Most of my work sits somewhere between design and code. It's all the same. Every decision, from data model to layout, is design. And when you're designing software, all design is code.
My job is to make sure the things I build serve the people using them. I care less about what technology can do and more about what it should do.
Currently dividing my time between running Think Make Play, an independent game studio and creative R&D lab, and design engineering at Captura, building tools for photographers.
