Web designer (http://www.tiffotomedia.com), photographer (http://www.tiffoto.com - ok tiff - let's update that site!) and dolly clothier (http://www.squeakymonkey.com - my hobby) I currently live in Portland, Maine after having lived all over the US... I moved to Maine a few years ago after losing my beloved dog, Bastião and realizing I hadn't seen my family in over a year and I wanted to be in the same time zone. I am still adjusting to living in New England... I am originally from Chicago. I am very much a midwesterner... But, I spent most of the nineties in Los Angeles where I got into web design through graphic design through photography. I evolved into a designer through my love of DIY - I have always been excited about doing things myself - learning new skills and acquiring more tools. I began making marketing pieces to send out and then a website for the photographs in 1995. Eventually, I found my way to Digital Domain in Venice, CA where I created 2-D art for Barbie Fashion Designer CD-Rom games. These games were very cool at the time - allowing kids to create their own doll clothes with their PC. I started with a little web space at earthlink and an Italian photography writer stumbled upon my little space and asked if he could feature me. That was incredible! Zoom I love my dog!
