“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!

(another long overdue post)
On November 13, 2008, I headed back to my old uni UTS and attended World Usability Day Sydney. The theme was public transport which is a subject that I am very passionate about. The title was “What would it take to get you out of your car?”
I had an awesome time and [...]
Tweet Tweet! I am having a very Twitter weekend.
So I got my free 8-week subscription to the Sydney Morning Herald and Sun Herald via Expedia (thanks Expedia! See? Sometimes it pays to subscribe to newsletters… ) and started reading the ‘Good Weekend’ magazine yesterday. There was an article about Twitter in it. Then [...]
