About

I am a graph­ic de­sign­er and a pro­gram­mer with an in­ter­est in web de­sign, de­sign sys­tems, and us­abil­i­ty.

I’ve worked on print and digital pro­jects in gov­ern­ment, higher ed­u­ca­tion, and pub­lish­ing. I care about ac­ces­si­bi­li­ty, de­sign­ing for the public good, and creating high-quality, usable re­sources for the long term.

“Since cost recovery through sales forms the basis of publishing workers’ salaries (…), any requirement that books be given away free strikes me as having a strong potential to undermine the financial position of publishing workers.” Open access mandates 👎 https://open.substack.com/pub/derekkrissoff/p/good-news-for-labor-day (2024-09-01 ↗)
