ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome to my portfolio site showcasing my Visual, Interaction Design and Illustration skills. I have been in the field of Design for the past 8 years and have worked on everything from 3D animation to video games to web design. My journey has taken me on a circuitous route to where I am now, but I find that the multi-disciplinary experience I have garnered enables me to take on a variety of design challenges with grace, creativity and exceptional quality. Currently I am doing Interaction Design as part of the creative team at Fluid, Inc. Fluid is an interactive design agency which specializes in E-commerce and online retail websites. I am also available for freelance illustration and web design projects.

BIOGRAPHY

I am a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area. I currently live in Alameda and am happily married as of June 24, 2008. My husband and I just recently got a new puppy. Which has been both delightful and exhausting! I feel like we must run an animal farm, because we also have two very big bunnies and a bird (bird is about ready to croak though :()

Favorite Quote: “A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.” - Douglas Adams
