Bio

In thinking of what to write on this page, I’ve come to realize that my sojourn thus far in the world of design has been a somewhat chance affair. I didn’t originally intend to major in Graphic Design, but began considering it seriously at the exact same time my college created a specialized Design degree (rather than just Art). I also didn’t ever ‘plan’ on living in Austin (let alone Texas) or being a freelance designer, but both came about at the same time for similar reasons. I certainly didn’t intend ever to write a blog focusing on things relevant to and related to design (and for the record, I do still hate the word ‘blog’).

Well. Just goes to show what plans are worth, sometimes.

Really, though, for something I fell into half by chance, I have to say my life as a freelance designer is pretty good. I recently found an old version of one of my first portfolio sites, and it had the following list of objectives on it:

• To exercise my creativity in a satisfying manner.
• To work with people who are open, responsible, trustworthy, and preferably a bit quirky.
• To be able to support myself in comfort.
• To maintain a sense of adventure and fun in everyday life.
• To still have or make time to travel and experience new things.

The cool thing? Freelancing in design makes all of the above possible.
