Welcome to my life.

I'm a self-avowed WordPress Whisperer with a specialization in front-end design. I live in Maryland. I take lovely photos, go to the gym a lot, and opine strongly over design, aesthetics, and politics. I'm prolific on Twitter; I used to post to Flickr; I have a moblog and in my spare time I help out at the SemperFi WP Support forums. You're on my "about" page already, so keep your eyes on the main content.

About Me

Having coffee. Despite eight years of having a large portion of my life play out online in a very visible fashion, I have a hard time writing about myself. Do I focus on what I do for a living, or what I do for fun?

Skip the memoir and grab the details:

I don’t have room here for an autobiography, so here’s a quick rundown: I moved to the USA in 2001 from the Philippines and barely looked back since. I have a bachelor’s of science degree in Biology, but due to life circumstances I’ve grown an interest in politics and web design.

I’m an autodidact in the field of contemporary code-oriented design without the baggage from the era of tables and other horrible techniques. I’ve been around graphic design all my life; I grew up in a household that ran a small print shop in the 1980s.

As early as I can remember, I’ve put thoughts to paper. I’ve basically been writing all my life, and with the democratization of self-publishing I find blogging to be very fulfilling.

What do I want?

Right now, I’m positioning myself to going full-time freelance with my design work. I currently work in sales, so my design work happens after-hours. I don’t see myself living one way or another for the rest of my life. I am a restless soul, and I hope I take everyone for a great ride.

Shall we talk?
