Inaugural Post!

Here I go again... another blog!
I think this is number three for me. However, the difference lies in the purpose of this blog. This blog's purpose is to convince people that I am staying on the edge of design, progressing in my abilities, and generally cranking out some great design work.


I guess the first thing I should do is explain the reasoning behind my "company" name:

a·mi·a·ble - adj.    (dictionary.com)

1. having or showing pleasant, good-natured personal qualities; affable: an amiable disposition.

2. friendly; sociable: an amiable greeting; an amiable gathering.

3. agreeable; willing to accept the wishes, decisions, or suggestions of another or others.

(dictionary.com)

My name just happens to fit into "Amiable" while still retaining the same pronunciation, so I have decided to take that and run with it! I am a very social person - a social butterfly, if you will - and I do my best to please.

 The best part about a blog is that I can use it to track my personal progress as a design student. I'm in my final year of classes but I feel like I have only just begun learning!
Here's a few examples of my recent design work in order to see how I have progressed a few months (or several years) from now. Click "read more!"
