Hi! I'm a web designer
specialising in front-end development
and UI engineering

I've combined UX, the Thomas-Kilmann Assertiveness vs Cooperativeness tool, and other Conflict Resolution principles to pioneer "Peaceful UX" (see articles on medium)

From hiring Filipinos, I've learned common personality indicators like Myers-Briggs & DISC personality profiles, and tools to measure IQ and EQ.

I'm 50-50 left and right brain—part big picture and part detailed.

Who cares?

Well, when a fault in a legacy website was going to cost $10-20,000 to fix, and everyone was fixated on the detail, I thought outside the box and found we could bypass that website for that part, using our other website. Inelegant, but free.

When a client asks 'I want a website with these functions' (detail thinking), I draw out the big picture goals and suggest a better solution.

I've learned how to outsource well so that a 50 hour isometric design can be done almost perfectly in South America (parallel to my work) for a tenth of the cost (see Red Cup Cafe)

I have complete freedom in how I set my business up, so I know hundreds of apps & processes that can easily collectively save a business 10-20+% productivity.

There's the tech support: "Have you tried turning it off and on again".

Then there's the web guru: "Let me Google that for you".

And the self-employed are practical and just have to make something work.

Combined, I'm the guy who says "There's an app for that", because it's not about perpetual inefficient fixing (IT), or just knowing how to pretend you know stuff (via Google), but it's honed, intimate knowledge of the problem, together with hundreds of possible solutions, and the creativity to pull that together to make it work, quickly.
