About the author

I am inspired by the meeting point of art and technology.

For over a decade I taught adult education in the San Francisco Bay Area and then became a card and gift designer. I'm active in the podcast, art licensing and DIY communities, and have a special interest in creating public "street art" in my local community.

Lots of ideas and tips. It's so nice to pick someone else's mind in this field who have successfully done it.
