From a broad wealth of experience, Christine McDonough is an information designer, graphic designer, technical software UX/UI designer, poet and fiction writer, technical writer, and photographer. These are not disparate activities; most of them overlap with others at some point, some more heavily than others. Things learned: Explaining is more than writing. Designing more than visual. Collaboration is always valuable, the timing to introduce it priceless. Learning is infinite; time to learn is not. Focus. An individual can excel at more than one thing.
