From NYC to London

Finally, I get a moment to properly start this new blog!

So here's an update on what I've been up to:

1. I've just completed a series of projects at Contra for the launch of Blyk, a new mobile service for young people. Here's one of the things I did there:


Click here too see more of this stuff.

2. I've also been working with a studio back in the US called Cytek on a site for a new clothing line. And we communicate with AIM, email and their online business management system. Isn't it weird how you don't even have to be in the same country or have met them to be part of the team?

3. And finally, I've registered my own company in HK and in Auckland, mainly cos those are the two places I have permanent addresses. (I'll disclose what its called next week!) And I got my first client! A HK company that supplies lighting to hotels, luxury homes and big venues...like those lights where you can control the dimness...I'm designing their site. NYC is next!

I know, I've been so busy and spending every minute I have to spare on my own company. Last week I got sooo sick because I was literally working 3 jobs, and I'm still recovering. Now that the Contra thing is all done I can take a short break and have some time for my own work.

I REALLY hope my health isn't going to stop me from doing all the things I wanna do.

Here's a picture, after some shopping, with Edith (thanks Angel for hookin us up! hehe):

Big ups to my friend Holly Shin for launching her new portfolio site. Holly's an award winning video artist based in Auckland. Here's a photo of us when she visited NYC back in January. Holly, When are you coming to see me in London?

Last weekend I went to check out Designers Block. It was their 10th anniversary and it was full of young designers (mostly from the UK but some international ones) with brilliant ideas trying to get noticed.

I was browsing on Youtube found this beautiful French girl who sings beautiful songs, even her music videos are gorgeous! Emilie Simon. This one's my favorite:

Very wonderland!

Speaking of Emilys, I just got the new Emily King album from iTunes and I play it nonstop. Really good stuff. Her songs make me miss NYC, though there's nothing in particular I miss about it...except for maybe hanging out with Justin and Kaori!
