Quite Curious

My name is Paula Chang, and I live with my boyfriend and two rabbits in a small house in Burlingame, CA. I enjoy working as a visual designer on the interactive team at SolutionSet, a marketing agency in San Francisco. On sunny weekends, I ride my (very cute) bike around town.

When I’m not designing, I’m taking photos, baking yummy stuff, or listening to groovy 70s music in Boris the Bus. I look forward to having tea in my backyard on Saturday mornings, planning vacations and relaxing with friends. Life is good.

Being curious
Curiosity is what makes me tick. It’s the “what if’s?” that keep me learning new things, and prying deeper into what I don’t know. Quite Curious is my home on the web, a place where I can record these curiosities.

Where you’ll find me
I go to Ikea just to eat (It’s in my neighborhood, AND it’s delicious). I also like to pretend I live at Ikea. So if you see a strange girl reading a book in one of the showrooms, it’s probably me.

I also hang out at wi-fi cafes a lot, working on side projects or updating this website. I’m at cafes so much I get my picture taken there (see above). I’m a geek at heart and not afraid to admit it.

Colophon

This website was built on Wordpress, using the iNove theme, with heavy modifications using CSS/HTML. Fonts used are Clarendon (title), DIN 1451 Engschrift (page headers, generated with sIFR), Gotham (navigation), Trebuchet (sidebar, headers), and Georgia (body). Drop caps by Jessica Hische. Adobe Photoshop was used for layout and graphics, all code is 100% handmade. It was launched in Jan of 2009. No bunnies were harmed in the making of this website.

And just for old time’s sake, here’s my old site.
