About

I'm a web designer, specifically a UI designer and front-end developer with particular experience in web forms and web app UI/UX. For me, web design is a profession, as well as a hobby — it's just fun. My design philosophy is based on a psuedo-minimalism style, with a preference for simple details, images only when necessary, and fairly small elements and text.

I'm a generally laid-back(although admittedly aloof) individual, with interests in web design. I'm also a Warhammer 40k fiction fanboy by my own admission, as well as a relatively geeky Linux user(Archlinux).

My most prominent personality trait is a tendency(obsession, some would say) to constantly tweak and improve anything that stays around me for too long. "Rogue Spark" refers to my somewhat mercurial nature and spontaneous idea generation.

Modding video games, customizing desktops, even taking apart and tweaking Nerf guns all stem from this occassionally exploratory nature of mine.
