What I've been up to lately
Here's a sampling of some of my recent work for your viewing pleasure.
A PICTURE = A THOUSAND WORDS
Here's a random sampling of some articles I wrote for my blog. Call it designing with words.
RIP Hotmail. Hello Outlook!
It’s the end of an era. Hotmail is no more. While news of its demise has been known for a long time now, the final nail in the coffin will be hammered in soon. By summertime this year, everyone with @hotmail.com addresses will be the proud owners of new @outlook.com identities!
