What is Inari?
Back in the early internet, BSM (Before Social Media), internet anonymity was the rule rather than the exception – as an avid writer, I chose my favourite character creation as my handle; Inari. Whether playing copious amounts of Counter-Strike Source, or on countless discussion forums, it just stuck.
What’s with the Fox?
Logo design is fun – creating a concrete identity for something nebulous, effectively forming something out of nothing. I have a background in graphic design, and as such this was the perfect excuse to have some fun.
In Japanese Shintō legends, foxes are Inari’s messengers, and beyond that, foxes are native to Ireland (where I’m from) and always look like they’re up to something.
Behind the Moniker
My name is Kevin Mooney (Kev), and I’m a software developer living in the rich countryside of the south east (in a two-hundred year old stone cottage nestled in mature native forest), working in Tech, and raising a family. I have a little boy that I talk way too much about, a German Shepherd I’m suspicious that she may be psychic, and of course, my best friend and beautiful wife, Shelly.
I am an avid writer (short stories, novels, poetry, and more) – there is something about the entire process that I adore; raw creativity…feeling the growth of story, of characters, especially when they age like wine. Professionally, I wear a lot of different hats, and my goal is always to wear as many of them as often as possible:
- Graphic Design
- Video Editing
- Software Development
- Web Development
- eCommerce Management/Development
Work is only half the story – there’s a lot more to all of us than what we do for the majority of our time. That’s where hobbies and interests really shine:
- Reading & Writing
- Photography
- Tech (General)
- Mechanical Keyboards
- Film, TV, and Music
- Teaching & Mentoring
