About Me

Name: Vanessa
Alias: Van

Interests: Art, Design, Photography, Comic Books, Animation, Gardening, Writing, Reading, Retro Music and Records, Traveling, Adventure, Craft, Thrift, Kitch, Marine Biology, all things fun and funny...and LEON SCOTT KENNEDY...to point out the glaringly obvious.

I'm an ambitious and busy young professional. I am a full time Marketing Writer by day, a job that encompasses Public Relations, Graphic Design, Web Design, Blogging, and more. I've been designing websites as a hobby for around 10 years. My personal website projects take a back seat to other personal projects I'm developing, but I'm dedicated to getting many website projects that have remained dormant for years complete before the year is up.

In addition to my full time job (50+ hours a week!), I sell art at the Riverside Arts Market every other Saturday, I maintain two vegetable gardens, and I'm assisting in the development of a nearby community garden.

I have a lot on my plate right now, but the learning experience is valuable and rewarding. I still continue to write incessantly, and I'm filled with ideas for new website projects. You can follow my daily adventures (hyperbole) by following me with the following sources:

Feel free to contact me on aim: corehardpowa or yahoo: gayleonkennedy. I'm a multitasker and I love to chat while writing and working on projects. You might catch me in the evenings on weekdays. I'm always looking for more media contributions for this website, please don't hesitate to send them or any suggestions my way.
