I am available for new contract work. I have 20+ years 😩 experience in web design and development and I’m still learning. I have written courses and books that have influenced interface design across the industry. I love prototyping, writing documentation, creative coding, and #a11y. 👋

Courses from people who care are the best courses. If this is anything like the Smashing workshop Andy ran earlier in the year, you're in for a treat. I'd say some stuff about how Andy has had a tangible impact on my career but I don't want this to sound like an ad, or give him a big head
