I'm Chris Mejia.

An experienced freelance front-end web developer and graphic designer, 25+ years in. In that time, I also spent a few years working in film and television production, where long studio hours turned me into a lifelong coffee fanatic. No complaints because now I love coffee in all forms.

These days I am living in Japan. While studying the language and writing the next chapter of my life, I've picked my camera back up again. Photography is how I put my design eye to work, and Japan is a ridiculously good place to practice. The rich history and culture provide endless inspiration. But, street photography is what really drives my inspiration.

I have also been collecting vinyl for quite sometime now and fortunatelyJapan has gifted me an endless supply of near-mint used records, found in the large amount of second-hand shops. My collection is growing nicely. Are you on Discogs? If so, feel free to add me so that we can trade records! Collection.

So what's next?

A small listening café: I have always dreamed of creating a place where you can enjoy a perfectly pulled latte, while listening to vinyl records spinning through the warm sound of a vintage Hi-Fi system, and a place to meet friends to enjoy that good music and coffee. It's a work in progress, and I'll update this page as it takes shape.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I would love to hear from you. Thanks for stopping by!
