“Hi! My name is Livia and I love design and photography which I've been doing for most of my life. I ♥ Canon cameras; Apple Macs; dabbling in Adobe Creative Suite software; and wrangling XHTML, CSS, basic PHP and Wordpress. Comic Sans and Papyrus fonts scare me. I ♥ eating out with friends. I really ♥ camels. Have you figured out what 'chamelle' means yet? According to some silly online quiz I am a 'hippie'. I believe in environmental sustainability, and like meditation and yoga (when I get around to doing it) so I guess it must be right ;) In October 2010 I moved to France to practise my French and nurture my love of foreign languages (and eat lots of yummy food!). Here, I found plenty of inspiration amongst all the beautiful places and things I see… In May 2011 I moved to Geneva, Switzerland and being a former Sydney beach girl, I am getting used to the beauty of the large lake and the mountains. This blog contains bits and pieces about my life and work. Hope you enjoy reading it, glad you made it this far. Please drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you!

I can use Windows. I used to know Windows backwards. Heck, I even used to know DOS backwards! But, I’ve been using Macs since forever and had my own since [...]
Happy Cinco de Mayo ‘09 (yes I realize it’s only the 4th of May for most of you, but I’m getting in early OK?)
Cinco de Mayo, literally ‘Fifth of May’ is a day of celebration in Mexico which commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, [...]
So I decided to tidy my desk a bit.
The desk and chair* I use are actually hand me-downs. The desk used to be my sister’s and the chair use to be in my dad’s office/work. I like to live by the ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ motto.
So, I have a bit of a (long) story to tell… [...]
