Hi there! Have some questions? I may have some answers for you! If you still want to contact me, feel free to email me and you’ll hear back from me lickity-split!

What do you use to create your colorful creations?

Here’s a quick list for you:

Design/Illustration: Adobe Creative Cloud
CSS/HTML Editor: Sublime Text 2 or Crimson Editor
Colors: ColourLovers
Drawing Tablet: Wacom Bamboo or Microsoft Surface
Music App: Spotify

Who made this awesome blog design?

The current design was created by yours truly. I created the design, the illustration, and coded it all together. My day job/career is as a UI designer & dev. You can see more of my work over at nikkijeske.com.

Why do you call it Snailbird?

Snailbird is a combination of two of my childhood nicknames. I grew up being called Snail a lot by peers because I was (and am) slow at everything I do, whether walking, running, or thinking (I like to think of it as being laid-back; I take life at a slower pace). Bird comes from Blackbird, a nickname that grew from one of my online pen names based on my favorite poem by Wallace Stevens (“Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird”). Snailbird is as random as I am and what I blog about, so it fit.

I am a very open person and I’m more than willing to share with you any of my own experiences or beliefs or even someone to talk to when you’re lonely in the internet community. Or, you know, something less deep.
