Flat Pack Fabulous
I started my new job last week as a User Experience Designer. Huh? you might say. Well, the best way to describe what it is, is to tell you what user experience design isn't.

Trip to Oz: Day 1 visit to kikki.K
About 2 weeks ago, I had the fortune of traveling to Australia for work! It was a 1 week whirlwind tour, but the long flight was worth it.
