well, hello there.
This is the professional and academic work of Michelle Chua, a web application developer/designer and student. (I've moved! This is old. Please see http://michellechua.com.)
My work
Below is a selection of work I have done in recent years. I spend about half my time as a developer behind-the-scenes, and the rest on user experience and design for web or print.
If you would like to provide feedback or see more, please feel free to contact me.
If you're looking for my blog, head over to the notebook page.
