Welcome to the blogging site of die happy design! Die happy design or dhd has been on my "To do List" for many years and finally today, I can scratch it off that list. But before I begin with what dhd is all about, you're probably (or probably not) wondering who the heck is yours truly?
Well, first off my name. Everyone pronounces it wrong which is the reason for the pronunciation key. Introductions were always complicated for me because people will struggle to get my name right and I would say “blame it on my parents”. Now that I’m a bit older and hopefully wiser, I actually appreciate having a unique name. So here’s my bio, it's longer than I intended and I couldn’t fit into the small “About Me” box.
I heart anything creative, unique, innovative, and rebelling. I think too much, have too many ideas, and drink too much coffee. I’m a Jersey girl, who grew up right out of NYC, being exposed to creativity all my life in the form of art, theater, DJs, dancing, and break dancing. I have an Architecture Degree and worked in NYC architecture/interior design firms for over nine years. I now live in Los Angeles, but consider myself bi-coastal and forever an East Coast girl. I love every color on the color wheel so my favorite color changes as fast as time (at the moment its pumpkin orange.) I don’t sugar coat anything and tell it like it is which can be both very good and very bad.
I was raised by a single mom who will forever be my hero. I’m the youngest of three sisters, always looked up to the two elders, and now that I’m the tallest I’m the one looking down. My mom remarried and our family became larger with a funny stepdad and two talented stepbros. When I think of my nephews and nieces I can’t help but smile. I adore my friends for we shared many crazy moments together. I’ve witnessed and experienced some unbelievable moments in my life that should be made into a book or movie. My all time favorite city is NYC and when I see that skyline I get a teary nostalgic. I’ve also worked in the NYC nightlife for over six years, working the doors and bottle hosting. I used to blog scandalously about those moments in addition to many others back in 2004, took a break in 2008, and now back with a lighter heart in 2010.
I heart photography because it captures inspirational and memorable moments. I love films, museums, gardening, cooking, the paranormal, popcorn, I Love Lucy episodes, and my latest crave…sewing. I love traveling and have been trekking globally since I was a young girl. My mom has always encouraged us to expose ourselves to the world as much we can. I have dreams of moving to the countryside landscapes of France or Spain with a journal, a pen, a camera, and a yummy cup of coffee. I live with my partner in crime, my D, who has seen my best and worst moments. I am currently an MBA student concentrating in small business management because it’s time to jumpstart these ideas into actions the smart way. Being a piano player since the age of five, I have found a love of teaching this talent to children. Meanwhile, I’m still searching for the answer of why God led me here to LA...and my favorite color is now cadmium blue.
So that's me in a very big nutshell. Thanks for reading. Please come back again for my next post of what dhd is and how it came about...ciao for now.
