Hobbies and Interests
| I
enjoy reading for both enjoyment and education and attempt to remain
aware of developments in my field. I am also an experienced computer
programmer and write software for my own uses including the occasional
computer game (either from scratch or a re-write of existing software). Recently I have spent time communicating with other designers across the internet in order to add more depth to my design skills, and I am part owner of the Tertial server which is used as a host for a variety of projects. |
