About Me

Me:
I'm a UI designer for a major fashion company. I'm also a photographer and a writer. I want to get out, see the world and immerse myself in every culture I can find, while writing and taking pics.

My Goal:
To see and do everything that I haven't seen or done before.

My Philosophy:
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn. I'm also willing to teach - I'm a competent musician, an excellent photographer and an educated artist. I'm also pretty darn good at woodwork and construction, so I'm always willing to help out.

In addition, I'm a good cook, so I'd like to learn new recipes!
