Hey there! I'm Smitha, a user experience and information designer currently residing in the Boston area. I graduated in 2011 from Carnegie Mellon's CPID Master of Design program. I also play the violin, geek out over foreign languages and volcanoes, and travel as often as I can.

This is the most recent iteration of my personal website, which has been around since 1996. I talk about design, science, music, culture, animation, and stuff like that.

hola!

This would be that obligatory “hey, new blog!” post–except that I’ve been doing this long enough that the “ooh, shiny” phase is very much over.

But to anybody who sees this, hello! And, possibly, hello again! Several of my friends in Japan and from college asked if I’d be starting a new public journal site upon my departure from Tokushima last summer, and now that I’ve finally shut the Japan journal down, it’s definitely time to start up a new one.

I want this to be a mix of personal and introspective posts like the Japan journal (okay, maybe not quite as long as those entries were), as well as more topic-oriented posts, like web/graphic/interaction design, music, animation, geology, astronomy, language…pretty much all the categories I’m interested in. So, essentially, five or six mini-blogs in one. I’ll worry about any complex implementation later, though.

Intro posts are always kind of sucky, huh? Any time I see one, I always wish the author would have spent that time actually creating real content, instead of writing the equivalent of, “Is this thing on?” And here I find myself doing that, because it feels weird jumping in without establishing the groundwork first. Heh, oh well.

Visitors: leave a comment and let me know you stopped by!

And of course, this design will be changing. Oh, yes. The name might, too.

    Hi, stopping by some :) I hate writing intro posts too. It’s like, having to tell people that you intend on telling people stuff.
