CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Seattle to start my masters program in Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Happy to talk about anything, especially enthusiastic about design, food and places.

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in learning, reading, exploring, wandering, photography, sketching, eating, tables, materials, buildings, streets, cities, world history philosophy, and all the overlapping things inbetween.
I am into landscape watercolor painting, house music dj sets, southern cooking, making kombucha and homebrews, urban gardening, design-build workshops, hot yoga, herbal tea, mountain forests, exploring cities on foot, amongst other competing interests.

Make time for serendipity

"To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wildflower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour"
- William Blake
