Scott Krieger

Senior Developer/Strategist

Scott Krieger began coding when markup code was young, and has stayed just ahead of interface design practice ever since. We know he will push us and pull our clients along to ever more elegant, agile expressions of information. His deep empathic skills and fierce loyalty to users of his work, his ability to comb through a complex tangle to find the right path, the delightful, useful thing, have put our work on the map for years and years. We cherish his brain, and also his poetry and his fiction, and his family. And his twisted sense of humor. Scott is here three days a week, because Thursdays and Fridays are his days to make art happen. Sometimes his own art, sometimes collaborations with Christine and Alex, a joy to behold.

Hope for HTML email
Andy shared a link yesterday to the newly launched Email standards initiative. We often get requests to build HTML emails for our clients and if you thought supporting a broad base of browsers was a challenge, try getting proper alignments in Lotus Notes.
