Consider this the obligatory first entry to this version of my blog. As with the last couple of blogs started this one begins with all good intentions for longevity and a state of being current. Unlike the past blog projects, dshadle.com will be a place for me to focus on those things that inspire, educate and provide insight. In addition, I will use this blog as a place to expose my personal thoughts on design, and occasionally, on some concepts keeping me up late at night. Throughout my career, I have been lucky enough to be deliver a variety of creative solutions across a variety of mediums. While I  currently lead the User Experience efforts for the Microsoft  Evangelism Network,  a set of "community based" web site's targeting developers, enthusiasts and students, my passion for Design spans across many boundary's. Along this journey, you will see the site evolve as I continue to explore new ideas.

This site was created with great encouragement from Jeff Sandquist, who has always been a supporter of my work. Thanks Jeff!
