Janice Gervais started out as a front-end web developer back when tables and inline CSS were cool. A big-picture thinker, she has gravitated toward UX design and web strategy over the past eight years. A good day for her is a day with a stack of sticky notes and a fresh whiteboard marker, and she is not one to shy away from a good debate or a well-made donut. Janice lives with her family in Michigan and pretends to be a farmer on the weekends, tending her garden and chickens.
