Sean Berger’s Summary
I create things with Photoshop. I build things with Textmate. I learn & share things on Twitter.
I design and build things on the Internet. I have a particular interest in user experience design and architecture. I have five years of experience in working with brands big and small. Most days you can find me re-thinking an idea or interface, designing a layout or crafting front-end solutions.
More specifically, I take part in conceptual thinking and layout design. Aside from all else, I take high stock in craftsmanship.
