About Me


An artist, currently using "graphic design" as a language of choice, you know it: colors, letters, illustrations, photos, icons, emblems... and words, all mixed like cake batter and plastered across whatever medium. To see more of my professional side go to my website [ The Missive ].
On the (in)personal side I am pretty easygoing and shy —at first, who likes to act like like a grown up. But my friends and those who know me well tell me I am closeted uptight, childish maniac. I like to keep things practical and have sense of productivity; since I am somewhat of a perfectionist I can be overly inquisitive/indecisive and hard to please, Everything is never enough.
I have a pretty good sense of humour. My mind lies someplace in between the lurid, sinister and raunchy. It usually comes out in the form of sarcasm or irony and quick little quips of fanceh. I like to poke and prod like a pestering child and push people's patience sometimes, this is ironic since I have no patience at all. But therein lies one of the many contradictions my life is defined by.
I have a magical boyfriend, I am still figuring out if this is a fairy-tale or a horror-story either way it has, it is and it will remain a happy tale. He makes me laugh every day, drives me crazy, abuses me (in the best ways, oh and it's mutual) and I love him like NO ONE else before. We have never gotten into a fight although I am working on it.
