Code, Clay & Pixels
I am an artist and these are my media.
Some of the things I make are useful {Websites, Mugs}.
Others are beautiful {Vases, Pictures, Sculptures}.
Hopefully a few fit into both categories.

I love to make things. Things out of code and pixels or things out of clay and metal (and someday something that combines them all). My goal is to keep on making better and cooler things until I don't enjoy it anymore or I die. So far I have been pretty successful and hope to showcase some of that here.

Making quality websites which cater to the needs of the content is something I take pride in. I develop using WordPress because of the freedom it gives me to produce high quality websites without spending a ton of time re-inventing the wheel. Also, with such a large community of developers producing a ton of great open source projects, building off others work enables me to quickly develop solutions for my clients.
