My name is Michael Marotta. I’m a User Experience Designer specializing in online health tools and web applications at Revolution Health. This blog covers my professional interests in exploring new uses of technology and design to enhance people’s lives as well as analyze some of the big problems in the health industry. I try to deconstruct and abstract the core principles that make great user experiences and create killer apps. Also covered are data visualization, visual design, cool gadgets, and innovative web 2.0 sites.

The other half of this blog is about other personal interests of mine including mixed martial arts (ultimate fighting), food, music, policy analysis, and other deep thoughts.

My home page with links to other personal stuff like music, resume, and portfolio items can be found at http://www.randomdestiny.com.

*Because I’m one of the few people who have read my company’s employee handbook, here’s the disclaimer I’m supposed to have on my blog: The opinions expressed here are Michael Marotta’s and do not necessarily reflect those of Revolution Health.
