About

I'm a learner and a hacker. I've been designing web pages since I was 14 years old. It's the only kind of job I've ever had, and I love it! Anything from back end PHP, Rails, etc. to Front-end JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, to Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I've done it all, though I'm especially fond of Front-end work. I'm always trying to improve myself and my trade. I was homeschooled for all of my formal education. I learned how to learn, and I haven't stopped since; everything I know about web design I've learned myself through practice and experience. My passion is the web!
