about
Ahoy! I’m Lynn. You may have previously seen me on such websites as Twitter, Digg, or SuicideGirls. Blah blah blah…
I’m 30 years old and originally from Toronto, Canadia where I spent 23 wonderful years before deciding to embark on a new adventures and leave all my friends and family to grow as a person, confront my shy syndrome and expand my horizons. It was a tough decision to leave, but after a couple years of saying I really want to live in BC someday, I needed to do it. My design program wasn’t cutting it for me, I was freelancing as an event photographer and graphic designer, I had the freedom to move. From Kelowna, to Vancouver to Los Angeles and finally San Francisco.
Along the way, I grew my career out of nothing. I’d always had a love for computers, from back in 9th grade and hanging out with the nerds in the computer science room to playing video games on my sega master system. The code world was just way more satisfying than design (and also nothing scares me more than a blank page). Over the past 10 or so years, my career set itself in stone. It’s like in music class, no matter what other instrument I tried, I kept going back to the damn trombone. Coding was my trombone. I work at an amazing company right now, after trying out a few different types. The agency, the single product company. Now I’ve got the diversity, and I get to work in future technology. After putting in so many years of stressful backwards compatibility, it’s now a tiny part of my job. Reward!
I live in a fantastic apartment, with my two cats Ziggy and Babycat. They’re my boys and I can’t imagine not having them around. I think they keep me sane. Especially in pregnancy when I’m overwhelmingly wanting to take care of everyone and everything. When I’m not working from home, I’m usually hanging out in my apartment playing xbox, watching whole tv series and movies or cooking. I love foooooood. I love food more than sex, and I’m not afraid to admit that. Food is one of the greatest experiences in life and I feel bad for anyone that doesn’t take the time to appreciate it.
I’m an indie music fiend, or a hipster? A yupster? Whatever. I love music almost as much as food. Concerts and pregnancies don’t go together too well but I’m trying. Music is another of one of those great experiential things in life. The way it can make you feel.. ahh.
Alright, that’s enough self-asborbed, superficial summary writing for right now.
