CURRENT MISSION

To experience life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I'm a design researcher and an artist. I study the psychology of how people understand and interact with technology and develop new products and systems based on that research. I also do a lot of painting, sculpture, assemblage arts, sewing, jewelry and more. I LOVE to travel and I love to meet new people... especially other travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is an adventure! I aim to live my live to the fullest... to experience as much of the world as I possibly can and to meet as many of the interesting people who live in it as possible.
