Hello

from Monterey, California — April 2, 2023

In 2019 I stopped trying to continue to pursue software design. I took time off and went back to school. I have completed a large portion of my undergrad and need a few core Computer Science classes to finish my degree. I also started traveling a lot and transformed this website from a design-focused website to something highlighting the best in life: traveling. Traveling has become a really big part of my life. I’m traveling more than ever and flying first and business class, something I never thought I would be able to do when I was younger.

I now work at the Defense Language Institute in IT. Every day I see and listen to people from all over the world. Nothing quite puts a smile on my face like seeing young Americans speak Arabic or Chinese with their instructors.

The Portfolio tab was prominent on my website for many years but I removed it because it was time. My early twenties were consumed by software design but I’m no longer in my early twenties and software design is no longer part of my life. I’m archiving this work instead. Removing its prominence, its ability to be indexed and simply putting it behind: Design Archive.
