state of the gui girl

5 years in review:

First consulting, then design firm, then freelancing, back to consulting.

I’m officially an interaction designer now. That’s pretty dope.

Picked up a husband. Then a sweet greyhound.

Then, a baby girl.

Not bad for 5 years.

I do think, however, it’s time for a rebranding.  Stay tuned for the transformation, yes? This blog is soooo 2006.

    Yes. Yes, all those articles of clothing reside in my closet.  Though a pair of my funky socks had to die for my “sleeves” as you might see in other photos. 2 kinds of fishnet stockings, 2 tank tops, 3 skirts, and 2 belts.
    DIY. I live thee and love thee.

It’s a field that’s a little different from his previous role as “Configuration Management Engineer”, but he’s stoked to have gotten the position. Congratulations, honey. We’re very proud of you!
