About Me:
Originally from Fontana, California, I currently reside in a cozy apartment in Oakland, California with my wonderful girlfriend of 8 years, and a stinky rat named Oscar. I'm a recent graduate of California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Although quiet at times, I consider myself an outgoing person. I love design, and really hate walking into casinos. I love to host, and I'd rather cook dinner, play board games, and have cocktails than go to a movie. I've been building websites since I was in high school, and I originally thought I was going to be a computer programmer. I took two years worth of C+ programming, and still enjoy to code from time to time.
My resume is available online as well.

Design Philosophy
I believe that the act of creating is largely a subconscious process influenced by one's intellectual, social and cultural development. I think that letting the subconscious play fosters confidence and allows for a flexible mind better at solving problems and negotiating creative conflicts. Play allows for failure, and failure allows for emotional, rational and creative growth.
