About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel places, meet people, learn things, be spontaneous, and have fun

ABOUT ME

I'm a graphic designer currently living in Darlinghurst Sydney, travelling to Europe in September. Things that make me happy: music, design, photography, art, meeting people, swimming, comedy, coffee, the beach, good food, cooking, and travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

Be spontaneous, say yes.

I'm completely new to CS, so no experience yet.
