about me:

San Francisco by way of Beijing and Chicago. Originally a sculpture major at CCA(C), defected to economics and accounting, but returned to creating things, usually web sites, culminating in spending a stint at Hack Reactor. Now thinking in code and computers, and still crafting beautiful things for you and your mum.
