Windows Embedded Developer Update

A couple words about myself...

Christina is an aspiring web and interaction designer from Vancouver, BC. She worked her way backwards by starting off studying computer engineering in university. Then, during an internship in 2003 she discovered CSS and fell in love with it. She parted ways with this first love after graduating and went to work as a software engineer in Redmond, WA.

Three years later, Christina decided she had had enough being an engineer and decided to recommit her time to learning everything web. She's determined to learn how to tell the difference between a good and a great design.

She hopes, one day, to see her name on a speakers list at a web design conference and to work in China.
