I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.

I’ve just done a spring clean here in the office and my room at home too – it feels good!
Feng Shui says to get rid of the old to let the new in – or something along those lines :) Clear energy all around!
