A time of red packets, azn festivities, and lots of food! I hope everyone is enjoying themselves out there right now! I actually celebrated with my family at their restaurant last week, and the party was full of lion dances and martial arts displays. I think we all know when the real New Year is!

So I guess the first thing’s first. Welcome to Totali!, my personal and design blog. I’m Austin, and I’ll be entertaining you readers (the few of you that are out there) with my random streams of thought and inspiration. I’ve been planning on setting up this blog for quite awhile now, but I hadn’t found the time until now to lay everything down on the table. Heck, I’m still trying to work some things out with my first “real” site.

The purpose of this blog is to force me to be active in my work by being involved in the design community, and it also serves as a place for me to express my thoughts creatively. Though I’ve gotten that much figured out, I’m not sure about how structured and consistent my posts will be as of now. I’ve actually wanted to experiment with some styles, but I’d also like to be somewhat regular with my content at some point. But hey, I’m the type that just goes with the flow until I reach the destination I’m aiming for. For now, I’m just happy to have gotten this far!

Well, that’s it for now. I’ll probably update my about page soon too.
