I love to make things and learn languages. I work hard and love to see my ideas come to fruition. I am fascinated my just about everything and love to learn new things. I know how to work with metal, jewellery, wood, leather, textiles, pattern drafting and garment construction, electronics, and even have begun learning some mechanics. I have lived in Sweden for a few months where I learned leather working and swedish. I am currently trying to learn a few different languages, but first and foremost I am working on Finnish!
