I am currently a fourth year Self Defined Mathematics & Visual Communications Major at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My focus is on Math, Design, & Art and I will be looking for full time employment after my graduation in May of 2011. I could sit here and endlessly elaborate on how much I love my 2D Drawing Studio, or the beauty of nib-in-ink Calligraphy, or the powerfulness of Letterpress, but instead of boring you half to death, I will give you the option to save yourself by simply offering a link to my recently-created Tumblr Blog.
