Garrett Dimon’s Summary
Garrett Dimon is on a mission to make the Web a better place. Armed with usability and efficiency, he's convinced that if it needs instructions, it doesn't work. That's why everything he does - from information architecture to site development - is elegant in its simplicity and a complete joy for the user. When he's not obsessed with usability, he can be found playing basketball or crusading for better content. If it's about the Web, he's all over it.
