Hi, I am Darren, and I am a Unicorn.
That is what I have been called by my co-workers since I do User Experience Design, Visual Design, and I also code
(HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, etc.). I learned to code to better understand the medium I work in and to aid in implementing designs that create a connection between people, technology, and services.
