I'm xalk, or Alexa, or xabooth depending who you talk to. I guess xalking is to be a xalk... Hence the name of my blog: http://www.xalking.com
I harness the power of Drupal with curly braces! - I've been working with Drupal since 2007 and been apart of projects with teams of varying size.
I have a background in traditional artforms (painting, drawing..) but my love of technology won out my interests in the end, and here I am- (some say web design is an artform)
I love CSS, design and typography. I'm also interested in smearing the lines between the roles of developer and designer, good design and usability.
