The Nuts and Bolts About Me

Hello, my name is Ann Haas. I am an experienced interactive design talent. As a classically trained artist, I entered my professional career designing for CD ROMS and kiosks, which eventually lead into web site design. With the web popularity in its infancy, my career and passion grew with every innovation and advancement; I still love that anyone can broadcast to the world on the web.

As a curious designer, I am consistently learning and practicing new things, which has given me a vast understanding of the interactive design space. From creating online brand experiences to designing rich application UX and UI, I have rolled up my sleeves and successfully dove into every work experience with enthusiastic joy. It seems that whatever project I work on or position I fill, I end up being the natural lead because I am vigilant in understanding and communicating how things could or should work; Essentially I ask the right questions and answer the difficult ones.

Quick Facts About Me:

• Some people peg me as an introvert. However, I euphemistically explain, I cautiously and politely assess a situation because once I have, I am a communicator extraordinaire.
• I lead by example and gain the respect of my team members and colleagues by my hard work.
• I have been known to surprise engineers with how much I understand technically.
• I value critiques. Through constructive criticism I learn and excel the most. Plus, I am my toughest critic.
• I have an entrepreneurial spirit; thus I relish enterprise opportunities for innovation.
• I take pride in having already started or done something before it has been asked of me.
• If I was to win the lottery jackpot I would still do what I do… maybe with nicer car.
• If you have read this far, we would probably have a lot to talk about.
