On January 5, 2014 we successfully launched the brand new MediaTemple.net. It’s been a year-long process for me that was filled with prototyping, testing, failing, and learning. This project allowed me to revisit my web development process and ultimately help create a design system that allows our team to build and grow at the speed of the industry. It was such a pleasure to work with and learn from all the incredibly talented people that worked so hard on this redesign.

When I turned 29 last month I found myself reflecting on my life. I thought about how far I’ve come, both in my life and in my career. I remember sitting in my seat during high school graduation and looking around at the smiles on my fellow classmates’ faces. I particularly remember the straight-A students. They knew exactly what they were going to do and where they were going to be, the confidence and excitement was oozing out of them.

I absolutely love attending conferences. I enjoy traveling, networking, learning from industry experts, and heading home feeling inspired to make something great. I was thrilled when I learned (mt) Media Temple was sending my team out to Las Vegas for Future Insights Live.

I’m super excited to announce that I will officially be joining (mt) Media Temple as a UX Engineer. I’ll be working with a small group of very talented engineers to continue to innovate and improve their products and services.

I’ve been looking to expand my knowledge of design patterns in JavaScript and I believe I’ve come accross the perfect thing to help me out.
