What Follows Is A Riveting Biography.

What’s up, Dear Reader. I’m Jared Christensen, a web and graphic designer living and working in the greater Dallas, Texas metroplex. As a well-rounded user experience designer, I make sure that systems, interfaces, language and graphics are human-friendly, emotive, aesthetically pleasing, clear, on-brand and usable – with a touch of mellow smoothness. I have brought my knowledge and skills to bear on projects for clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies to bootstrapped startups. And I daresay that I rocked them all — well, at least a teensy bit.

I am primarily a Visual Designer with budding information architecture and interaction design skills. This means I mostly deal with pretty pretty pictures in Photoshop, though I have a working knowledge of HTML and CSS. JavaScript, you’re still a black box to me. A sexy, enticing black box.

In my spare time, I can be found wired directly into my iTunes library, watching movies, reading, sleeping or going to the occasional tinnitus-inducing concert. I also regularly pull the Pain Train into Catharsis Station for a little Call of Duty or Team Fortress 2 action. Demoman FTW.
