Hellooo!

I am a creative dabbler who enjoys good company and good conversation. I'm an easy-going person who strives to learn more about the world around us and find authentic connections along the way. At home, I frequently organize block parties, dinners and events that bring people together.

I am a freelance graphic designer which affords me the privilege of being able to work remotely. I'm passionate about wandering around by foot in new places, trying delicious foods and teas, and making art. My artwork can be found by visiting www.hayleykirkman.com (sorry for the slow load time!).

I just picked up piano lessons in November 2021 and have already found it to be such a delightful instrument for expression. I also enjoy dancing anywhere, anytime! Let's boogie!
