I was born and raised in Hawaii, educated in Las Vegas, and currently live in Southern California; I believe my travels have given me an appreciation for many different styles of design. I love to explore different design outlets and am always eager to try something new. I approach each opportunity with an open mind and positive attitude. I always strive for fresh ideas and look forward to expanding my knowledge with every project that is given to me. I am a fast learner with an appetite to learn more!

I have been designing and creating websites for over twelve years. What began as a hobby has become a rewarding career. I love to take the minimalistic approach to design. I strive for style and sophistication over gimmicks and fads. With my background in Computer Science and Multimedia, I am able to produce exceptional design and elegant, maintainable code.
