One of those right brain left brain individuals who gets a buzz from problem solving in both hemispheres. Push comes to shove I'd take the right brain role (be it illustrator, design, art direction or UI/UX) and work with a hard core left brain coder.

I like to use Apples Quartz Composer framework since it's a nice overlap of both and also I never learned serious professional grade coding despite starting 30 years ago on DG, ND, Digital mainframes as a 10 yo in Basic Fortran and Pascal then moving on to an Apple ][e and discovering peaks and pokes.

I've also worked in Film and Theatre as a production designer and studied Architecture (my first love) for some time.
