In ancient Greece, Echo was a mountain nymph or Oread tasked with protecting Zeus while he enamored other nymphs. Because of her quick wits and smart mouth, Echo was to envelop Hera in conversation while Zeus was out and about being unfaithful for the millionth time. To punish Echo, Hera deprived her of speech, except for the ability to repeat the last words of another. She eventually faded into nothingness and all that was left was her voice.

 

The etymology of the word echo comes from the Greek word ἠχώ (ēchō) and throughout history became synonymous with sound and music. Sound has always been a huge part of my life because of my love of music and my career in communication studies. So I thought it only fitting that my alter ego be named after something with such a deep meaning.

For all things freelancing and passion projects, meet my alter ego, Echo. She's fiercely motivated and kinda badass if you ask me. But don't ask me, see for yourself.
