Rebecca Elish

Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.

I have a deep passion for clearing metaphorical roadblocks, so that people can accomplish what they came here to accomplish.

When I am not immersed in creating easy user experiences, I am going for walks, learning about Seattle and its history, enjoying compiling Spotify playlists, and reading about various topics of the fictional and nonfictional varieties. I love to paint and am in love with art history. Right now, I am reading a beautiful book about the Wiener Werkstätte -- an art and design movement from early 1900's Vienna. (Think Klimt+Frank Lloyd Wright.)
