Chuck found his way from advertising to interaction design through sheer love, substantial talent and proficiency in every aspect of the work. We all aspire to "the zen of Chuck:" an ability walk into any situation and calmly and competently make miracles happen.
Chuck started his career working as an advertising art director. As use of interactive components in advertising grew, he took on designing web sites to support ad campaigns. Interaction design work became his primary focus and eventually he went to work at Wells Fargo Bank as a user interface designer, working on the initial implementation of Bill Pay and the first redesign of Online Banking.
After briefly traveling the South Pacific in search of waves, he returned to San Francisco and took on leadership of Wells Fargo Bank's designers, focusing on a broad array of projects including banking, brokerage, reporting, bill payments, and visioning for future products. Chuck moved on to Tibco to work with their AJAX toolkit, designing applications that enable enterprises to deploy, monitor and manage SOA Applications. Chuck graduated from the Visual Communications program at the University of Delaware.
