I have a ton of hobbies: If it's hands-on and/or art-y, I have probably tried it or thought about trying it.

I am an amateur photographer and have created interior designs for friends, remodeled my own homes, painted more walls than I can count, learned how to use a miter saw and sew, and much more. I have a bit of a green thumb and eclectic taste in home interiors. I am also a reader who's interested in most things esoteric. I even had a brief run as a co-host for a hobby podcast called There Are No Tangents before life got too busy to keep it up. Even though black is my favorite color, I love colorful art...hence the name of my collage hobby / side hustle Colorful Humans Paper Arts. I love to travel (I know - who doesn't?) and constantly seek new experiences.

I spend as much time outdoors as possible, which is a delightful experience here in my beautiful town of residence, Asheville, NC.

I love telling stories through aesthetic experiences.

I've always loved stories, both told and read, and I've been a hands-on creator for as long as I can remember. Today I'm a multi-disciplinarian who weaves my love of stories with design to create branding and marketing assets for small businesses.
