Henry Gardella

I grew up in Silicon Valley designing games for my friends. Now, I design digital interfaces, but it’s really the same thing. It’s all about making technology work for people.

If I’m not computering, I’m probably hiking the Santa Cruz Mountains, playing boardgames, or making music at the piano.
