TLDR; I spend most of my time making Made Open's community platforms pretty and easy-to-use.
Whether planning a new feature or redesigning an existing one, I take developments on from the idea phase. I design them, build the front-end (what the user sees and interacts with) and sometimes I code the back-end developments too (the logic that makes everything work). I do this all in collaboration with the whole Made Open team. And what a team it is - we all work really well together.
To be honest, sometimes I wonder whether a day spent making a menu expand and contract nicely is a good use of time. After all, there are thousands of ways I could be spending my time. However, seeing the positive impacts that our platforms have had shows that design time for each detail is really important.
I believe in aggregation of marginal gain (philosophy stolen from GB cycling). In my eyes that means making the platforms a little bit better every day. Over time you get great results.
Here's to nicely expanding menus!
Other than agonising over user interface details, I have two kids, love sport, have two dogs and three fancy chickens.
