"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." — Howard Thurman, Philosopher, Theologian, and Civil Rights Leader.

I was only 10 years old when I designed my first website. Whether you call it destiny, fate, a calling, or just my nature doesn't matter. At heart I've always been a geek, and working with websites is where my passion resides.

It was never my intention to create a succesful business from my hobby (I've yet to meet a 10-year-old who thinks that far ahead), things just tend to fall into place when you're doing something you love. You put your all into things you enjoy, and as a result have the capacity to help more people.

My first successful website was just a place where I could write about my experience learning about design. I enjoyed what I was doing, and other people found my experiences useful. To this day, I continue to talk about things I enjoy and to serve the other people with similar interests.

In 2009, I realized that the path I was traveling was no longer the one I wanted to pursue. There have been few things as enjoyable as teaching design, but something seemed to be missing. Design has always been a way to reach people… to impact people… to make a change in the world. However, my work as a teacher only allowed me to offer a medium for others to make a difference. I felt very uninvolved.

This year, I'm realigning myself with my values, and finding where I need to be. I aim to help people, to help people reach their goals, and to help those who cannot help themselves. I'll be seeking people with passion to carry on some of the projects I've built up, and embark on new projects that are more suited for my goals. I am very appreciative of all those who have helped me up till now, and hope to see many of you on the other side of the fence.
