Meet me, Anita

I'm a fanatical creative who believes Don Norman when he says design should bring joy, excitement, pleasure, fun, and beauty to people's lives. My professional life can be subdivided into eras of writing, digital photography, and now UX. In January 2022, I joined the user experience team at Pulumi where we're empowering developers to build, manage, and deploy cloud infrastructure.
