Design is Everything

About Me

I love creating beautiful things. At heart, I'm a visual designer, and I like working in the print, video, and web media, though I am most comfortable with the web. My feeling is that design can do wonders if you let it. Case in point, a good design should do a good job communicating the point you want to make, and a bad design will get in the way of that.

When I'm not working, I like movies - mostly good dramas, documentaries, and the occasional romantic comedy if it's not too sappy. Most of all, I love curling up with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa on a rainy Sunday, and being able to forget about work. What kind of book? Well, I like biographies of interesting, influential people (Ted Koppel, Barak Obama, Michael Korda, Linda Ellerbee are some examples), books on the state of the world (for example, The World is Flat, Freakonomics, and Lattitudes and Longitudes), and American short stories.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting, smart, engaging, fun people with a good sense of humor (and irony :-). I'm here to share interests and exchange ideas, especially about creative, visual designs.

I love great visual design, industrial design, photography, illustration, album art, tattoo art, airbrush art, cool page layouts, innovative graphics, murals, digital animation, motion graphics, and I could go on and on and on...

If you received a Friend invite from me , it's likely because I saw one of the above (or something visually interesting) on your page. I'm still just learning how to use MySpace, trying out its features, and browsing for people whose profile pages I think are interesting.

Full disclosure: I'm already in a committed relationship and I am not looking to change that.
