i'm an aries. i’m passionate about social experience & the things that tie people together as well as shared/unshared experiences. yeah, i guess that makes me a bit of an extravert, but i much prefer small, intimate interactions to large groups of parties. in the same vein, i’m passionate about travel, and have lived and moved all about the world. i grew up in seattle and then spent some time in south america, asia, san francisco, and finally lived in honolulu before landing on a small farm where i lived and worked the land in tennessee before popping up to nashville last summer.

my primary artistic projects are metalsmithing and herbalism. i do both cold-metal work as well as fine metals and soldering. in addition i’m also an herbalist. i have my own line of plant medicine tonics and tinctures that i harvest and craft.

oh, and also i’m queer. i’m progressive and inclusive, and basically this just means i have a lot of thoughts and ideas about non-hetero(normative) concepts. i guess it’s a big part of my life, but its certainly not something that defines my entire identity. i’m very happy knowing & cohabitating with all types of people.
