Finally

Hi blog readers. If you haven’t already, click on through to the site. You’ll see some changes, I promise.

So I’ve redesigned, finally. I promised myself I wouldn’t tell a long story of the trials and tribulations of how I came to this design. Just know that I actually started doing some IA work on it about a year ago and then it dropped off the radar for about a year, and picked it back up in February of this year.

Visual design to interaction design doesn’t seem like a huge transition on the surface (it’s all design right?), but it has really been a challenge.

Designer/Developer Synergy

Before working at Planet Argon, I’ve never worked for a company that was made up of mostly developers.

Not a huge deal considering I’m a designer and I wasn’t necessarily hired to know these things, but I felt it was my duty to at least make an attempt to learn.
