About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Im laid back and composed, and very friendly. I find wonder in all things large and small. I live for beauty and all things are beautiful. Grew up in Northern California and currently reside in San Francisco. I've lived many lives up to now. At this moment I'm an Industrial designer for an innovation and design consultancy called IDEO. As for me Im on a personal quest to better myself and learn as much as humanly possible about the world I live in. My goal is to be a well rounded, Renaissance sort of person. I want to see and feel everything this existence has to offer. I love life unconditionally!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the fog that consumes mountains then bows down to the streets and kisses your feet, I've seen the endless fields of flowers that grow inside the mind of only the freest imaginations. I've see the leaning walls of worn brick streets. I've seen both the ruins and wonders of mans triumphs. I've seen the final breath of weighted white trees before they return from hence they came. I've seen the bottom of the well and the top of the mountains. I've see views that will steal your breath and never give it back. I've seen the feverish spark of inspiration in the infinity that lies behind the stained glass eyes of a child. I've seen so many amazing things it would take a life time to tell about them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about some things and a little about others. I can teach you what I know.
