Core

These are the pieces of me that feel core to who I am. They provide lots of meaning to my life and help guide a huge portion of the decisions I make everyday.

I’m obsessed with asking questions and challenging the status quo because when I keep my mind open to possibilities I can change things that look or feel set in stone. I refuse to believe that anything “is what it is” and I always ask more of the experiences around me. Doing this is how I think we can build a world where people can thrive more deeply than ever before.

Minimalism is my jam! I cannot get enough of it and I’m constantly trying to simplify, remove and craft systems for my life that are more enjoyable, more simple, or less redundant. I feel like minimal systems are ones that really understand deeply what they need to thrive and they don’t settle for anything less than the best combination of things.

I really love things that are in constant movement. The flow, the growth, the evolution! Life is more enjoyable for me when things feel this way and if too many things start to get stuck or stop moving completely, that’s when I get worn down much more quickly.

Curious about the other digital realms you can find me in?

Adventures Realm

Currently Steam is my spot for digital adventures, but I’m always exploring alternatives and occasionally use Google Play Games.

Bard Realm

Currently YTM, but looking at making my own Funkwhale…..its complicated though.

I like to say I have a salty tooth instead of a sweet tooth. Cuz I don’t often like sweet things much, but put a bag of really good chips in front of me and 🤤 I’ll just gooooooo

My Craft

Currently I’m diving deep into UX design, but I basically love all things design and a lot of things tech. Check out Design for recent projects, questions, and explorations there. 🌄 I’ve dabbled in Industrial Design and love continuing to evolve my home space and fashion. Overall I think that my life is the most interesting and enjoyable design challenge that I have and everyday I keep crafting that experience.
