Welcome! You're probably wondering about the "Mango Latte" thing.

It's exactly what it sounds like: a mango-flavored latte. Never made one, never seen one. I needed a brand for my freelance work, and at the time I was living in The Big Mango and drinking lots of coffee. The domain was available, so I grabbed it.

Have a look around — some projects are fun solo experiments, others are collaborative efforts that actually paid the bills. Skills and projects are below, contact info's up top.
