About
There is no about page.

Sickdesigner.com is my own little web retreat. It's a place I use to share what I deem to be valuable content with my fellow designers, pursue web or graphic experiments, connect with like-minded people, discuss various design related issues, occasionally vent frustrations in regards to the profession of design and sometimes even land a freelance job or two.
