Today I celebrate 15 years in the DC area, when I first moved to Northern Virginia with the help of my parents and the Corpuz family.  Additionally Ligaya Design & Consulting was officially born in late July just five years ago, although I originally had the idea in spring 2004.

Instead of a fancy or intellectual anniversary blog, I just wanted to express gratitude and thanks to my family and friends who have supported me over the years - especially my parents Cecilio & Fe Camacho, my sister Amelia Camacho, and my cousin Monica S. Flores of 10K Webdesign. 

There are too many friends and colleagues to thank, but I am especially grateful to Nan, Vincent, Camilo, Deanna, Luciana, Aileen, Terry, and Yuriy. Thanks, everyone!
