Today my little brother turns 23. Which I guess makes him not so little any more. At the moment he is living very far away in sunny San Francisco with his lovely fiancé, working for Dropbox and being all creative and what not.

This is us. I know what you’re thinking, we’re still both super cute right? Well Dan (that’s his name by the way) also happens to be incredibly talented, funny and just about the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet. He has accomplished some amazing things in his 23 years and he is an inspiration to me every day. He is an awesome web designer and developer with what I think is a pretty darn impressive portfolio. He sees potential and beauty in so many things and has a great eye for aesthetics. He also writes in the most profound and insightful way. Where I have a tendency to ramble, Dan has the uncanny ability to enlighten and convey complex ideas simply. You should pop over to his website and read some of his words. I am in awe of everything he does and achieves whilst still managing to remain so grounded.

So happy birthday Dan! I’m blessed to know you and honoured to be your sister and friend. Keep doing what you’re doing – you’re AWESOME!
