Long story short: I was born many years ago and I continue to interact with my environment at a certain level of consciousness which fluxuates in direct proportion to my recent ingestion of caffeinated beverages. Long story longer: I am a girl geek and stiffled artist who makes a living doing web development and design. My geek side likes technology, coding, science, gadgets and the internet. My girl side likes crafting, decorating and organizing. My artist side likes design, creating art and doing amateur photography. One day I will live in harmony with all my parts.
