CURRENT MISSION

Planning a trip across the USA. Hoorah!

ABOUT ME

I like red kettles, torn paper and wearing mittens in winter. I believe that avocado and asparagus make sandwiches seem a little bit more special. I can't walk past an old penguin book cover without stopping. I drink my coffee black, with no sugar. As a small child, I used to collect postage stamps. I really like chairs and I'm not quite sure why. I read The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald every day. I like the word peppercorns.

I currently work in communications and graphic design. I'm an avid sandwich maker, aspirational gym membership holder, and one-time raffle winner.

PHILOSOPHY

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. - Samuel Beckett.
