The world of young (and some old) business professionals has been swept by online social networking and instant messaging services. With so many readily available on both desktop and mobile devices, using these methods of communication comes second hand with work tasks. This up rise in technology over the past half-decade and busier work schedules have made the working professionals often overlook the the true value of 1 on 1 interaction.

How did this all happen? Tracking back to 2004, I personally didn’t belong to any online social network aside from emails and college student portals. Reports show that social networking has grown 93% since 2006. Facebook alone has grown 500% since ’06. IM, blogs, photo sharing, texts, forums, you can get it however you want it. It’s become almost standard in conversation to ask an acquaintance or collegue if they belong to a network. All this makes you think, “How did we communicate before social networking?”

Nomadic Flow

At last I’ve launched Nomadic Flow.com. This site will serve as my portfolio, blog, and showcase for design. My previous site, imbanks.com, was up for a while I needed something fresh. I decided to re-brand the entire thing into a new and exciting portal for me to expand within. Imbanks.com was great for a starter portfolio. It got me many freelance jobs and my first full time position as “Webmaster”. Always thought that title was slightly cooler than most of the cooperate titles in the office.

I really wanted to re-invent my portfolio because I’ve evolved as a person and designer. I actually created the first one in an attempt to win a design contest in my last term of college. The title “Nomadic Flow” is based on the change and movement in creative design.

I enjoy travelling frequently, and I think everyone should attempt to step outside their boundaries once in a while. This is also my first attempt at an actual blog. So bare with me and feel free to slow down to watch the crash of this Creative Drifter.
