Things to know about me
I've acquired a number of skills in my life, but design is my biggest strength. It's been the focus for most of my career, and while some might consider that a flaw, I disagree. I could have attempted to be an all-in-one-wonder, but I chose instead to be the best at one discipline.
Where I feel I really stand apart, is that I'm skilled in two facets of that discipline: Interaction and visual design. So not only can I make a web page or application look appealing, I can make it easy to use as well. (Ask someone who knows, and they'll tell you that's a rare combination.)
That aside I did manage to learn how to write client-side code along the way. (I was especially fortunate to have one of the best teachers in the biz.)
In the last seven years I've had an amazing career. I've worked for tiny companies and huge corporations, and I've designed everything from brochure sites to large-scale, complex web applications. And my work has always centered around clean, aesthetic design with a focus on usable interfaces. I have a great deal of passion for what I do, and I feel it's reflected in my work.

The Future
At the moment I am currently employed full time and not really looking to move anywhere new. However, I'd have to say that if the right opportunity came along, I'd be all ears.
In the meantime, I am accepting contract work for interaction, visual design, or consulting.
So if you feel I'd be the right man for your project, please don't hesitate to contact me at hgriffith@vfs.com.
