About

In the past I would have written something along the lines of "I am a graphic designer, turned web designer…", but that was then. Now, I’m far less inclined to throw myself into any one category and this site really wouldn’t fit well either. Rather than jumble a bunch of industry related titles, I’ll tell you what I’m interested in and a little of why I do what I do.

Design:

My original vocation was as a Graphic Designer, but over the past several years, I’ve been doing a hell of a lot more than that on the web front. I’ve designed traditional websites, blogs, interactive games, and immerse experiences working with agencies with a number brand-name clients such as Pepsi, General Motors, Panasonic, Wrigley’s, Funrise (POG), Johnson & Johnson, to name a handful.

These were all great learning experiences, but what I really enjoy these days is Standards Compliant websites. Usually that comes in the form of web-applications or portals, but I’ve found a bit of a niche with WordPress Themes. So far, I have three themes:

• Lemon Twist;
• Lemon Lime;
• The Far Grove;

And I’m working on a handful of others;

Writing:

Well, for starters, you’re on my blog — and if you’ve been reading my postings, you’ll probably have picked up on how long they are. I love words; I love writing them; I love the process of writing.

At this point, I have one major writing project on the go, but I will detail that in a separate blog/posting/page at some point.

Illustration:

Second only to design (writing is a completely different ball game for me), illustration provides a creative outlet for me. This is where I can combine my art and design skills to create pieces like this.

Development:

I suppose I can’t really say I’m much of a web-designer without some sort of development background — all self-taught, mind you. I enjoy programming mostly for the challenge, and partially for a kind of creativity you might not expect from programming. There really is beauty in code, but you have to look harder for it.

That’s it for the most part when it comes to major interests. I have so many others, but they are far less important to me than the ones I’ve discussed in brief.

About this Blog

"farfromfearless" — the name is really nonsensical if you think about it. I chose it for its fun, alterative qualities more than anything else. I’m sorry if that shatters any illusions, but for me, not everything has to have a deep, profound meaning

This blog is not so much of a personal blog in the sense of my everyday life (though I make no guarantees that I won’t deviate), but rather a repository of my personal experiences when it comes to my interests.

So, that’s it.

I hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for here, if not you can always try Google Blog Search.
