anne gibson is a UX Designer and General Troublemaker (that’s her rank, not a level of specificity) at a big/small tech company. She’s just close enough to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to think a wander through a revolutionary battlefield is not noteworthy. In addition to designing websites, she writes about building websites at The Interconnected (or much weirder things), plays competitive pinball, and watches the terriers destroy things.
