Experimenting with theories of productive mobility!
ABOUT ME
I'm a multi-disciplined freelance designer. I was trained in product design but moved into interface/web design since graduating Rhode Island School of Design (Providence, RI) in 2002.
I am currently traveling around the world and funding it by doing work on my laptop as i go.
I recently finished a charitable project:

Me and my buddy Heath traveled from Hong Kong to London, raising money for charities along the way and wearing tuxedos EVERY DAY! Hooray!
We also used couchsurfing during this trip:

PHILOSOPHY
I love to live life to the maximum because you don't know when your time's up. I believe in balance - i need to have fun, be crazy and party but also be productive and feel like I've accomplished something.
Treat people how you would like to be treated.
