I'm an artist residing in Minneapolis, MN. I do 3D printing, photography, graphic design and a little bit of 3D modeling. I'm a bit of a jack of all trades. Ideally someday, I'd like to be a production designer in the film industry. Movies inspire me and to be able to dictate the look and feel of a film is my dream. I have a cat named Miles that I rescued, along with 3 of his brothers and sisters. (I only kept Miles, found homes for all the other ones). My family is pretty small, essentially consisting of my mother, my sister, my niece, and an uncle. We stay very connected because of this and we all have each others back.

I'm really into technology and could probably fix your computer if you're having trouble with it :-P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Minneapolis is where I grew up and I've pretty much stayed there most of my life but I'm ready to go out and see other places, particularly warm climates! I'm interested in meeting new people and exploring new places. I find that exposing one's self to new environments does a lot for your wellbeing. I've visited Mexico twice, California once, New Orleans once and that's about it for my travels so I'm excited to expand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rescued 5 cats in the span of four days and successfully found homes for all of them. One of them is the cat I have. His name is Miles <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography and the principles of graphic design. I can also teach you how to make the PERFECT scrambled egg. You'll have to host me to know the secret ;-)

I'd like to learn more about travel in general.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences in Minneapolis as well as have great discussions. I can talk FOREVER about things like technology, film and TV culture. I can also share my experiences as a freelance artist.
