About Me

Crazy in a good way. Borderline spontaneous. Sarcastic as hell. Occasionally kind. Ok, that's a lie--I'm a pretty nice person. I thought I was shy, but found out I was wrong. Also thought I was fairly organized--boy was I WAY wrong. So, I'm a few steps closer to self-awareness, occasionally overly talkative, but rarely do I have it all together. I love to read. In fact I'm addicted to books. I enjoy creating things and solving problems, which are probably two of the main reasons I decided to become a graphic designer. I really dig making things. I'd love to have a torch and a bandsaw. I'll try just about anything once or twice. I love to go to strange places and even not so strange places sometimes (but then of course you have to do strange things). In general I'd like to learn as much and experience as many things as possible--live a full life but also a meaningful one.
