My name is Celine. In ten years I will be a nomadic novelist UX-enthusiast greeting-card designer extraordinaire, or maybe just your ordinary hardcore typography geek. Right now I'm just another college kid.

Factoid: I like writing extraneous ümlauts on whiteboards. When yoü do this in a mythology classroom people get confüsed all over the place.

Factoid: I have very strong opinions about the design of online forms. Some kids check out people. I check out websites.

Factoid: I am not a fan of Keats.
I answer questions pertaining to ampersands. And other stuff too, I guess.
