About me

I am a graphic designer in southern California, a freelancer who was working from home a few years ago and got hooked on TechTV with Leo Laporte. In addition to my freelance design I was teaching computer graphics at a local community college (still do); I found the easy conversational style and information from Leo and his friends helped me to help my students big time. And, of course, it was just fun to watch! I appreciate smart people who also have a great sense of humor.

Since I teach with and use Macs, I really appreciated the insight about Windows and Linux so I don't ignore problems my students might have on those platforms (well, not linux—I just thinks it's interesting).. I also loved the fact that Leo, Patrick, Kevin—everyone there had so many tech industry friends and acquaintances who came on the show. It was like having friends in the Bay Area tech crowd that you could occasionally stop by and see.

When G4 bought TechTV I was as disheartened as everyone with the new format and started to follow Leo's blog. The famous podcast after MacWorld—I had never listened to a podcast before—was like having a light bulb go off in my head. I immediately wrote to Leo (as did you all) to tell him that's what we want. More! We all knew that it was going to be big.

I designed the original RoTSS logo, Radio Leo logo and gave Leo some advice on logo design and branding. I did some of the original album art when iTunes was just starting to carry podcasts—I still have a screensave from Radio Leo! Leo commissioned me to design the original Floss & Jumping Monkeys album art, and I just recently redid almost all of the album art for a more consistent look.

Last year we did album art for TWiG, Dr Kiki's Science Hour, This Week in Computer Hardware, Abbey's Road and NSFWto name a few. This year's art includes the brand new iPad Today, Green Tech Today and TNT (Tech News Today)—that show is GREAT if you like current tech news. Leo has brought back Sarah Lane, Becky Worley and Tom Merritt for probably the most entertaining daily show on the net.

About Art&Tech Tees

I had been bugging Leo about making some T-Shirts since the beginning. I know that fans want great shirts, good quality with good design. Unique design. So I finally proposed that I could design and sell them—he just has too much other stuff to do. He said go for it!
