A passionate web personality, Jade's among the "web" generation - an upcoming demographic of young adults who have always had the Internet around at their disposal.
With a solid foundation of where the web has been and a good idea on where it's going, Jade spends her days programming (mainly on the client-side) web sites and applications which inform, empower, and create passionate communities.

I am the User Experience Lead for Advomatic, a Drupal web development firm based in New York. I specialize in user experience design and online communications strategy for non-profits, advocacy organizations and political campaigns.
