Most of the time, my Tumblr is just a collection of favorite conversations, quotes, pictures, snippets of emotions and thoughts, and intriguing posts I find online. Sometimes, I do more than reblog and write original entries shorter than those on my personal blog or tech blog but over 140 characters long. I might occasionally talk about my experiences running My Mom is a Fob and My Dad is a Fob…otherwise it’s all stuff like #interiors, #architecture, #design & more. Me? I’m a 21-year-old web & graphic designer, artist and photographer who studied architecture at UC Berkeley. I graduated a year early (bad idea), and now I can’t find a “real” job. Got any questions for me?
