Hi, I'm Jeff Siarto—a designer, software developer, and teacher based in Michigan.

I build user interfaces for humans, and occasionally design logos, books, courses, and physical products. I'm currently a Professor of Practice in the Department of Media and Information and Department of Advertising and Public Relations at Michigan State University. I also serve as the Interim Director of the UX Masters Program and co-lead the ADPR a la Mediterranean study abroad program in Rome and Cannes. Previously I was the Director of User Experience at Element 84 where I worked on design and research for various NASA Earth Science projects.

In a past life I wrote two books in the O'Reilly Head First series and started Loudpixel, a social media research agency I started with my my wife Allie. Together, we worked with brands like New Balance, Radio Flyer, Wrigley, and MillerCoors to help them discover conversations and opportunities for brand engagement.

I am @jsiarto around the web, but I’m most active on:

• Twitter for design leadership and vintage logos
• Instagram for my public sketchbook
• Dribbble for personal and professional pixels
• Github for code and plaintext
