Awesomely Simple...
I call myself a graphic designer first and foremost, if only to impress the guys, yet I have skills and passions in many areas of computing, internet, programming, design, usability and troubleshooting. Okay, I lied a little. I'm not passionate about troubleshooting but I seem to have a mind that's tuned to that sort of thing. The bit about impressing guys is true though. It happened once. I have been called a pragmatist and while that might sound boring, I like to make all my designs as simple, practical and logical as possible and if I manage to make them look great too then I feel I've succeeded. I'm really not a 'wow' kinda guy, but I do create stuff that works nicely and looks good. To quote Charles Mingus, "Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity". When I'm not working... I'll be honest here, I love computers and the internet. I spend a good portion of my day in front of the screen, designing, researching and sometimes just mucking about. But, aside from the geek stuff I do allow myself to get out and about too. I like music, good food, watching movies, meeting new people and traveling.
Interests
In late teenage years and early twenties, I enjoyed hiking the sierras in the late fall, skydiving, camping and long trips cross country.
I still love traveling and hiking... but I've become a little paranoid about planes and do not see myself jumpnig out of one anytime soon.
