On May 1st I'm embarking on a new journey. I'm leaving Analytic Design Group to create a new company with my friend and colleague Derek Kehler. Although we haven't decided on a company name yet :), we do know that we want to produce web based software products that we, and our users, are passionate about. The first product we're directing our ninja-web-fu skills at is our social design community ScrnShots.com.

My time at ADG has been both exciting and fulfilling, and I'll always look back at my time as employee number 1 with fond memories. But, the desire to work on my own personal projects (which are plentiful) has left me with very few hours in the day and a decision had to be made. Although the safe thing to do would be to give up on the personal projects, that's just not in my nature.

So, after many hours of deliberation, Derek and I finally made the decision to give up the cushy jobs and go out on our own. This decision has brought on a mix of excitement and anxiety knowing that our products need to pay our bills, but at the end of the day, we want to work on projects that we love. This will allow us to do that.

I'd like to thank Karyn for being such a great teacher and mentor. She made ADG a great place to work, learn and grow professionally. Also, I'd like thank the rest of team and all the great clients that made each day a pleasure. I wish nothing but the best to ADG and hope that this is not the end of a great working relationship between myself and the people there.

More info on the new company should be coming soon so stay tuned!
