Wiseheart Design is an interface design company located near Raleigh, North Carolina, owned and operated by John W. Long.
About John –
I am a talented interface designer with a zeal for virtue, simplicity, and beauty in all that I create.
My background is in both programming and design. This allows me to optimize my work so that it is very easy to implement.
I mostly work on Ruby on Rails projects.
I can help break down your ideas into manageable, achievable goals and leverage them to their full potential.
I strive for transparency on all levels of the design process and greatly enjoy working in the same room with my clients (though this is not essential).
My expertise includes:
- Rapid prototyping (paper, mockups, and HTML)
- HTML (all flavors)
- CSS (and Sass)
- Javscript (Prototype and JQuery)
- Ruby and Rails
- Test, Behavior, and Feature Driven Development
I was an early adopter of both Ruby and Rails. My Ruby experience predates Rails itself by almost 2 years. I am somewhat famous for creating Radiant CMS – the first viable open source Ruby on Rails content management system. I am an active contributor to open source, with over a dozen projects on GitHub.
Working with Rails lists me as being in the top 1% popularity out of over 16,000 Rails developers. (At the time of this writing, I was listed as #109.)
I tend to work from home or at the nearest coffee shop.
I enjoy talking with people about their projects. Contact me if you have something you want to discuss.
