it started in the late 80s when i would organize my world around me as much as possible. then i grew up, went to school, got a visual communications degree, and worked as a graphic designer, focusing on longer form work like books and magazines [layout is just organizing things effectively].

years later, i added ux and ui skills, worked on my creative writing and storytelling skils, and started practicing mixed media art, experimenting with whatever materials i could find.

throughout it all, i’ve always been a daydreamer, deep thinker, + direct communicator; i’m obsessed with/inspired by music and most things environment and sustainability, live an active life and love both the mental and physical challenges this brings, and always appreciate a good thrift find.

i lead with humility, not ego; see with curiosity, never follow just because ‘that’s how it’s always been done;’ i see mistakes as learning opportunities and will try things even if i don’t know how [i will soon];and believe it’s okay to break or bend the rules if the rules don’t make sense.

while my ideas can be chaotic, i love a plan [let’s call this ‘organized chaos’]; i’m meticulous yet experimental, and i listen more than i talk [empathy is king].

my best work comes when i embrace the weird; the wild ideas and patterns and probably not doing what everyone else is doing.
