- About Me: I am a Bay Area native who traveled and worked in many industries before before discovering web design and multimedia communications. I am married with two children. Our second child, James, was formally diagnosed with autistic disorder after almost a year of feeling that something wasn't right and consulting with specialists. I love my husband and children, art, music, traveling, and silliness. I believe that family and friends are the real things in life. What made you stop and think today?
