    Currently studying Architecture in Curtin University, Western Australia. Calvin loves web designing and photography, occasionally he blogs about his thoughts and opinions.

    Every morning he refill himself with weird energy-inducing substances known as coffee and tea and then off saving the world, I mean studying and blogging of course.

    The author is not a CAD expert nor a web genius. Just another guy spending too much time online (believe me, way too much). The tutorials featured here are meant for basic level understanding.
