About Me

Hello hello. I'm a designer in Philadelphia, wrapping up my studies at Drexel but for the next six months, I'll be living on Crete. I do mostly digital stuff, animations, web design, but my hope is to eventually get into some kind of set or environment design where I can utilize my animation skills. I'm definitely a city girl at heart which I know isn't entirely common on here but give me a chance lol. Animation, music, and fashion are really my main passions, but I'm interested in pretty much anything artistic, and I'm also a writer. I'm pretty new to traveling, this is my first time abroad, so I'm still learning the ropes but so far so good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just moved to from Philadelphia to Crete so I'm looking to meet people/travel around a bit while I'm here. I can't currently accept guests but possibly very soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not sure if this counts as amazing, but I spent most my summers on a small island on the St. Lawrence River, and lived there for most of the summer. When I first started going there, I was probably five years old, and there was absolutely no plumbing, electricity, or shelter. Basically spent all summer living in the woods with no modern amenities watching my uncle build a little cabin, and I thought that was totally normal. But in the 15 years my family has been going there they've managed to build a lot of stuff and purchases a lot of motor toys so now it's more like a full-service summer playground.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can code in a bunch of different languages, and also use pretty much any computer program related to art, design, or animation, I'm happy to teach anyone who's interested in that kind of stuff.
