Hi, I'm Beth Dean.

I design websites and icons. By day I work for a Fortune 200 designing a 2 billion dollar payment experience, as well as mobile sites and applications. By night I teach web design, run Resist and draw comics. I also listen to music, watch movies, eat food, get tattoos and play with my dogs. I usually look very serious but I assure you usually I am not.

I've been drawing as long as I can remember. That's me on the left with the crayons, with my mom and grandmas.

I like to geek out with my friends at the Cleveland Web Standards Association.
