Been having the itch since the beginning of the year to make some changes to my year-old site design. So I worked on it on-and-off for several days, and launched it last week. In addition to some small clean-up, I’ve changed some fonts and colors. I’d barely want to call it a “redesign” at all, but there are some fun details I want to note.

Bittersweet post here, to announce that I’ve left HowAboutWe to do frontend development for Bonobos’ New York Office.
