"Ancora Imparo"- This old school Italian phrase was found inscribed on a sketch by Michelangelo during the last years of his life. It translates to "I'm still learning".

The User Experience field is still relatively new and in a constant state of flux due to ever changing technology and device fragmentation. As interfaces evolve it requires Front-End professionals like myself to consistently stay abreast of the latest standards or get left behind. Fortunately, I thrive off of this challenge to remain current as my curiosity to learn and capacity to embrace new ideas outweighs any compulsions for normalcy and complacency.
