MASTERING DESIGN: I started designing at the age of 11, beginning a very simple page on angelfire. I started teaching myself HTML after seeing several sites honoring the cartoon "Sailor Moon", and wanting to make one myself. The site was very basic; I could not even master a mere image placement code. I then moved on to geocities, where I began experimenting with the drag-and-drop editor, using free layouts from other websites that offered them, starting to understand coding. The sites there improved until all the drag-and-drop editor contained was pure HTML; no other images. I then moved to www.missing-pieces.net, the domain of a former friend, where I continued to experiment and slowly began to expand on my own work. After missing-pieces.net closed, I moved on to www.atomic-pixie.com, the domain of a close friend and former fellow hostee at missing-pieces. After several months there, I finally felt ready to open a domain, and bought (as well as registered) candied.net, opening it with a green layout that can be found in the layouts section. Since then, I still have candied.net, and have been hosted on dozens of other sites. I hope to keep candied and to one day own lemonaide.org as well.

STYLE: I enjoy all sorts of design styles, ranging from cartoon to digital (encompassing brush work, vectors, freehands, food, blends, grunge, cute, etc). I tend to switch off from one style to another and have no particular one I prefer to use more often. I've been told all of my work carries a certain trademark, but I am unable to identify it.
