Brief auto-biography

My family originally settled in New Zealand form Scotland, Australia and England. My family name Laird comes from Scotland, where a Laird is part of the Scottish gentry. The word laird comes from the old Scottish word laverd meaning lord. The term acts more of a description for a position in society rather than a title.

I think I’m quite a reserved person, preferring to sit and listen than stand and shout. Favourite hobbies of mine include; gaming, anything from chess to video games, preferring a solitary experience to a social. I suppose I would also say I am an avid reader, and very picky with the subject matter, classical literature being among my favourite. I am a graphic design major however I find myself taking a range of subjects, in accordance with a my broad range of interests. This often results in graphic and typographic elements becoming apparent in my illustrative work, and vice versa.
