There's some new work from summer and fall semesters on my website. I think I'm at a point where I'm ready to start looking for freelance work, so if you know anyone who needs a designer, feel free to steer them my way.

I'm currently dividing my life between roller derby and grad school. I live the life of a design student in Boston every ( Read more... )

NERDS: So PAX East is, um, being held in my backyard. Which is to say, in my adopted city. Anyone going?

I'm thinking of getting a pass so I can go and see what all the fuss is about, and it'd be a nice excuse to see some of my nerdy old friends if you're going. Get in touch.

I got this in the mail last week from the career center:

I'm done with the summer program - Design Boot Camp is finished!

I did really well, and hopefully soon I can put the projects I did over the summer up onto my portfolio website. Fall semester starts September 9, so I've got a few weeks off to relax and spend some time getting back into derby.

Everyone seemed really impressed with my progress and my ( Read more... )

The bout on Saturday went great. I had some pre-bout nerves but they pretty much went away after I put my gear on and started warming up. Everything went (fairly) smoothly, or as smoothly as these things can go, anyway. My one big mistake was not warming up enough, as I had some annoying shin/calf pain and tightness through the first period. I know ( Read more... )

So this might not mean anything to anyone other than fraterrisus, but I'm getting a roller derby "promotion" and making my WFTDA sanctioned debut on Saturday.

I'm on Twitter now, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm actually on twitter twice, because I'm insane.

You can find me as Ruth of All Evil, which is my twitter account for following and communicating with people I know in real life or who I'm just more interested in.
And also as MGChains, which I use for networking, advertising, chatting with ( Read more... )

So the friend-of-the-family renting situation looks like it's going to work out, so I'll be renting a room in a house in Chelsea for a while.

I got my financial aid letter and it's 100% loans. This is... less than ideal. So I'm applying to fellowships and crossing my fingers for some sort of miracle on the jewelry business front. I've been ( Read more... )

So I realize I haven't written a substantial update in this here journal in a long time. I've been twittering and facebook status-updating so some of you know this already but check it:

I've been accepted into the Master of Arts in Graphic Design program at NESAD. I'm gonna be a grad student ( Read more... )
