My name is Justin Winslow and I currently reside in Austin, TX. By day I work for the design/development firm responsible for all web activity for the state of Texas, by night I am an aspiring musician, freelance designer and I occasionally write about what inspires me.
I specialize in standards compliant XHTML, CSS and Javascript with a strong focus in visual and interaction design.

Initial content design was was aimed at sending users to the book page and drive acquisition.

Successes included bringing greater prominence to job search by elevating it to the home page, moving non-essential content out of the direct path of the user and aligning the design to more closely emulate the brand standards of usaa.com.
