About Laura
Ready
Growing up amidst animals and hay fields helped me to develop an over-active imagination and a great love for open spaces and all things green.
Set
In high school I started painting murals for family and friends and drawing as much as I could. Then went on to receive a Diploma in Digital Animation from Centennial College in Toronto.
Go
These days I spend my time devouring every thing about web development I can get my hands (or cursor) on, working - and playing - at Agency Fusion, and doing freelance illustration, web design and development.

- Just change the 'note' font from Comic Sans to a better font and it is a neat tool for writing code.
