    Hi! My name sounds funny, but it's all good. I'm from Boston. I live in Los Angeles. I love wrestling HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery. I hate disorganized directories and party poopers. I'm currently working on my BA in Web Design and Interactive Media at Ai. I'm passionate about geometric shapes, clean code, and intuitive design.

    Fun facts: I have an instrumental blog, and tweet about things that inspire me. I've been rapping since elementary, I have a Wu-Tang tattoo, and I collect Nerf guns.

    I'm available for freelance work. If you'd like to get in touch, please do!

    Design

    This is a MacBookPro

    Do not enter a Starbucks without it.

    I got the PSDs for these lovely devices from ICEFLOW STUDIOS. Check them out. They have some pretty cool stuff and their site is nicely designed. I personally keep their site bookmarked for reference.

    Development

    This is the iPhone5

    Chinese people go cray over these.

    I want an iPhone5 soooo bad. If I saw a little kid walking in the park with one of these in his or her hand I'd probably have to snatch that shit. No lie, I will fuck lil Cynthia up if she gets out of line while I'm jacking her for her iPhizzle.

    Interactive

    "The Ipad"

    I fucking wanted one of these so bad.

    Life is a beach. Its sandy all around me. I came here with young money. That's family all around me.

    Music

    I likes to rap.

    I've been doing it since forever.

    So yeah, I rap. I'm pretty good at it too. I spit hot fire. I got bars for days. I'm a beast. When I get on the mic I shut shit down. You don't want to battle me. I'm just saying, don't do it. I'm was the Cafeteria Freestyling Champion of '01, son!

    Photography

    This is an iMac.

    It's a placeholder for my really cool photography.

    Everyday I stare at this thing for a minimum of 27 hours. Before I sit in my desk chair I squirt an entire bottle of Visine moisturizing drops in each eye to prepare me for the staring contest that goes down between me and Sublime Text 2. Now that I think about it, I should probably get it a name. Maybe I should call it Manchester.
