CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I was a student of chemical engineering with an ultimate interest in sustainable design, but I've taken indefinite time off. I enjoy video/new media art, learning new software, maybe programming, one day... also making music, building things, reading, trying to hike/camp haphazardly, cooking, bicycling, learning how to fix things.

PHILOSOPHY

Privacy, friendliness, cleanliness

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The few times I've been kitesurfing were probably the most amazing experiences I've had. "City camping" in Berlin was a lot of fun, too. Swimming through these limestone caves of the Chasawitzka River in FL I guess should also make the list.
