Hi! My name is Melissa Hie. I am currently residing in Los Angeles, and I am a recent Computer Science graduate from UCLA (Class of '07). I am not too fond of my major, but I admit it is an interesting field and has given me valuable experiences I would not possess otherwise. My real passion lies in web and graphic designing.

In my free time, I enjoy watching TV shows. Lots and lots of it. My all time favorite is The X-Files, which I have been watching literally half my life! Other honorable mentions are Battlestar Galactica and House MD. I like playing videogames, and occasionally trying to speak Japanese (actually, it's my minor in college). I also enjoy reading books, but I like webcomics even better! My favorite comics are XKCD and The Perry Bible Fellowship. These guys are brilliant.

Note: I am currently available for freelancing, but would also welcome a full-time job opportunity. If you are interested please contact me with details (preferably something more than just the generic "I have a project you might be interested in..."). I've found that I work best when I actually connect with the people I work for :)
