Hi, I'm Tyler.

I’m an emerging freelance web & interface designer based in Hercules, CA.

I make things that help people. Mostly, I make usable, beautiful websites.

My August 2009 launch of NikisPetNannies.com enabled NPN to acquire a direct competitor in July 2010.

I'm passionate about the "User Experience." You may have heard Seth Godin and Jakob Nielsen talking about it.

What shapes my passion for User Experience?

I'm driven to help people. I want to change the world, and want my designs to do the same.

I'm also an entrepreneur, a storyteller, a blogger, an amateur filmmaker, a skydiver, and a thrill-seeker.

What shapes my drive for these hobbies?
