I am a chronic puzzle-seeker and a lifelong learner. I unpack complicated problems by approaching each with the flexible process and attention it deserves.
This means that I work with others to ask questions, define approaches and execute solutions comprising:
- Communication, research, and strategy;
- Information architecture;
- User experience and interface design;
- Visual design;
- Front- and back-end web development;
At the beginning of 2023, I joined Pixel & Tonic (the team that builds Craft CMS) as a technical writer, charged with cultivating new educational tools for their entire product stack.
In 2016, Savannah Julian and I founded oof. For about six years, we designed and built a special brand of interactive experiences for clients that shared our commitment to democratizing knowledge and opportunity. We put the studio on hold at the beginning of 2022 to welcome our son Kit into the world.
For a few years prior, I worked with Rumors to help institutions all over the world make better use of the internet—like Bidoun, Emily Books, and SCI-Arc.
Winter through Spring of 2015, I led interactive design and development courses in the College of Art and Design at Portland State University.
In 2014, I built websites part-time at Instrument while finishing a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design at Portland State University.
During school, I had the privilege of working with a handful of other technology and design groups.
I’m on Twitter Bluesky and GitHub and always love hearing about new projects at hello@gusmiller.com.
