About Me
My name is Shannon Hale. I'm a Platform Product Manager at Salesforce.com, where I explore the confluence of user experience and product management. My team builds tools that help business experts solve business problems without writing code.
I've been an interaction designer, programmer, systems analyst, technical trainer, writer, editor and photographer. I still wear many of those hats.
I believe everyone should be able to access and use the web, regardless of ability or disability, platform, or device.
You'll find me on Twitter, LinkedIn and Delicious, and on email at shannonsansserif@gmail.com.
