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…shifty little creatures, so it seemed fitting.
Behind the Moniker
My name is Kev Mooney, 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 the Tech sector, with a passion for hobbies. Proud dad, and shameless animal lover.
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
- Solutions Mapping
- Web Development
- eCommerce Management/Development
- Content Creation
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. Of course, before becoming a father, I was a little more interesting, so now my interests are a little more reflective of the chaos – joy in the smaller things.
