I am a lover of food, connection, travel, and visual and healing arts.

I currently reside in Chicago and work in arts management, running an artist residency and consulting on music a video/blog production company. I also have my own performance and installation art practice.

I am a very respectable and tidy guest and treat other's spaces just as my own sacred nest.

Thank you for sharing your home with me!
