This was my application for a web design opening at Carsonified. I was hired by them in October 2010! You should follow me on twitter here.

Hi, I'm Allison House! I design exquisite, easy-to-use web interfaces for sites & apps.

Introduction

After eight years of design and strategic consulting for the online medium, there's still little (Star Wars, you understand) about which I'm more enthusiastic. I love planning and producing intuitive, top-quality websites that help users and clients achieve their goals.

I bring the thunder.

My background in user interface design is accented by a multi-disciplinary skillset that includes visual design, content strategy and project management. The result is beautiful, well-planned websites that are highly usable, engaging, and persuasive.
