ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm 25 years old and getting used to this whole being-on-my-own life. I studied graphic design and art history, and my first "big boy" job landed me here in sunny Houston, Texas. While not too far off from home base, it's been an experience getting used to this big city. I have found, though, that it has its fun little spots for food and art--you just have to know where to look.

I like to consider myself a very easy-going and down-to-earth person. It takes a lot to really upset me, and it's very uncommon to ever see me angry.

I don't own a T.V., I read a lot, I'm always going to museums/plays/concerts, and I enjoy running, whenever my knees don't hate me.

PHILOSOPHY

Be passionate, make something.
