about
I’m a web designer and developer currently living in San Francisco. I grew up in the Chicago area and had the honor of attending one of the most prestigious high schools in the state, the Illinois Math and Science Academy. That’s where I learned to build my first website.
I received a B.A. from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign with a major in East Asian Languages and Cultures. I speak Japanese and have contributed translation work to a number of projects.
These days I make graphics and web sites for a living. I specialize in HTML/CSS, interface design and iconography. I’m a longtime Mac user and I’m active with the Mac development community.
I currently work as a webmaster for Google in Mountain View.* Among other things, I have done design work for Google.org, iGoogle, Webmaster Central and Google Desktop for Mac.
