About Me
I'm an independent graphic designer and copywriter. I work from my home studio so I can also maximize the amount of quality time I can spend with my kids. My interests besides being with my kids as much as possible include gourmet vegetarian cooking, vegan baking, playing piano, anything Simpsons, and delving deliriously into reading, particularly fiction and history.

Favorite Word:

lugubrious
What a wonderful way to describe dismal. I first heard it in the Disney movie, Hercules, where Pain referred to Hades as "your most lugubriousness." Fabulous.

Least Favorite Word:

nice
The problem is, it really doesn't mean anything when used today. It's so nondescript.
