ABOUT ME

I've been working in online strategy and operations for Silicon Valley companies since 1995. I'm now working exclusively as a freelance consultant on both creative and technical projects. This site is my virtual business card and showcase for personal, professional and volunteer efforts.

MOUSE FOR HIRE

I'm always looking for new opportunities to share my expertise and broaden my scope. I find that the best way to learn is by doing, and there's always something new to learn. I hope I can bring my curiosity and drive to your next project.

Mortal Plush at Art Whino

Per my previous post, I’ve started a website for my amigurumi crochet hobby at AmyGurumi.com. It can be challenging to find time to design and craft new objects, but I really find it a relaxing and rewarding hobby.

I was lucky enough to have my submission to the Martha Stewart Easter Contest selected as a winner back in April. It was an unexpected accolade, and the Seagate GoDrive was a nice reward.  My next large project was for a gallery exhibit in the D.C. area entitled “Mortal Plush: I Am Not Your Toy” at Art Whino. The gallery will feature soft sculpture (“plush”) that expresses emotion. My piece is a pirate monkey (“Bronzebeard”) that hopefully expresses “weltschmerz” (world-weariness). The deadline was extended into June, and I just found out this morning that my submission was accepted. For those in the D.C. area: Opening reception on July 11, 2009 from 6:00 PM to Midnight at Art Whino Gallery 173 Waterfront St., National Harbor, MD 20745. There will be food, drinks and a DJ.
