Welcome to Baltimore, MD, USA

Hello everyone!

I recently took on the role of local ambassador for the Baltimore UXNet locale, tag-teaming the region with the ambassador for Washington, DC, Olga Howard.

This region is dynamic and engaging for UX professionals.  We have a large ecosystem of universities and colleges with design, psychology, and other programs - even game design.  Hundreds of software and IT firms.  And many dozens of independent UX consultants in the area.  Others of us labor away in UX roles at private-, public-, and non-profit-sector organizations, making life better through design, whether it is for new products, government services, or IT systems.

There are a number of organizations that operate locally to support and evangelize UX-related work, including regional chapters of UPA, IxDA, and IGDA.  I’m sure there are many other organizations that fit in the UXNet umbrella.  Please get in touch with me and let me know how we can promote and support your work!

I personally want to be connected to all the UX people and activities in the region.  My work often takes me elsewhere, but I am grounded here as my home.  Let’s work together to make these connections.  I’ll make this UXNet locale a place you can rely on to find out what’s going on and who’s out there.

Cheers!  I look forward to meeting, working, and playing with all of you.
