ABOUT ME

They say i'd be funny and odd. I'm nice enough, but straight forward.

mostly people say i'm awkward. I'm good with listening and talking one on one.

I'm positive and up beat but very laid back.
I went to school for fashion design and love making clothing costumes and fiber arts and crafts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've always liked swimming in the ocean. even swimming in lakes is great. especially glacier lakes the shock from the freezing water is amazing.

Also I’ve been part of some interesting art festivals. i once made a maze from fabric on rope strung between trees sort of like a clothes line but in a grid to make the maze.
Just being at and taking part and adding to the festival was the best part.
