since patronuses can change and evolve with you, i suspect mine will form into dave gahan at some point.

what is bánh bao?
upon handing my sister a small white bag with a steaming hot bun from a little saigon deli, she sang out in a feminine falsetto voice, "oh, my little bánh bao!"

these stickies became the first pieces in an ever-building library of clipart for eBeam software. my boss likes to tease me about the black sticky note, but as you can see, there exists a perfectly viable use for them.

a few years ago, my favorite art history TA asked if i could contribute map illustrations for her thesis. i *love* information design. the final piece needed to be printed in b+w though, so here they are in their full color glory.

2007-06-16T13:47:00.001-07:00

this was a freelance piece for a non-profit organization. i was especially proud of this because there was a large amount of copy that needed to be organized along with graphics. the piece was a small trifold that would have a magnet on the back for parents to put on their fridge.
