About me

Considering my URL, you probably already know my name.

I'm currently splitting my time between job searching, creating art, and freelancing under my digital design studio, Vernonian Creative.

I tend to be creative and use technology, so I wrap up my design, analytical, interaction design, web programming, and communication skills into the concise parcel of *creative technologist.*

Outside of my job, my creativity ebbs and flows from creating physical and digital artifacts including lino prints, fonts, expressive typography, and games.
