I believe in the ideals of free software and the open source development process and within that the application of the principles of ethical design. The tools we use shape our practices, and the practices we have shape our tools, so I take a point of pride that free software comprises the majority of my design toolkit and workflow.
Aside from free software and design, I have a great passion for cooking, so I keep a food blog of sorts where I document my recipes and other adventures I have in the kitchen.
