About Travis
I’m a multi-faceted user experience designer and have been working on the web for over 9 years. Being part of small teams has given me a good working knowledge of how all the pieces of digital communication and applications come together to form a whole. Over the years, my roles have shifted to encompass all points of the process at one time or another, but always with a heavy emphasis on the concept, visual design and interactions users face.
The ability to see the big picture as well as obsess over the minute design details makes me capable of working in areas of all types. Innovative interface, usability, and web standards methodologies have gained industry wide recognition and allowed me to work with clients and projects of all sizes.
I speak both geek and client alike. I try to do as much as I can with as little as possible.
