David Rhyne
I'm David Rhyne. Born, bred, and currently residing in Virginia, I'm a designer specializing in user experience (and, within that, visual design). I'm a boring, everyday guy who's pretty darn passionate about great design. I'm very particular about details and as such tend to be critical of design, including my own. Every once in a while, I create some cool things. When I'm not writing or scurrying around in Sketch or Photoshop, I'm enjoying photography, autocross, my family (29 nieces and nephews and counting), and trying to keep in shape. I like people. Since I like people, I don't like social media, though you can find me on Google+ once in a while. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ.
