I'm a designer and illustrator obsessed with beautiful, functional storytelling for web, desktop, mobile, and print. I share some of that and my photo work on here.

Hong Kong Island's skyline with Kowloon across the harbor. I was lucky to get up to Victoria Peak on a rare sunny day.

Hong Kong Island in the late afternoon. In Japanese, the name "Hong Kong" is written the same way it is in Chinese – 香港, using Kanji (Japanese's borrowed Chinese characters). In the phonetic Hiragana alphabet (which wouldn't even be used in this case, since Hiragana's only used for native Japanese words, and Hong Kong is Chinese), it'd be written as ほんこん, pronounced "honkon." A little language lesson for the day :)

Playing with type on an image of one of my favorite cities in the world. Bangkok, Thailand. I took this one after we took one our first exit off the Sirat Expressway onto the ground-level streets.
