ABOUT ME

I'm a born traveler - I was born in the United States, but moved to Australia with my family when I was 10. I've never really been able to settle down since, but I'm working on it.

I run an event production company with one of my very best friends, and fit in as much time around that focusing on creating lots of art. My plate is very full, but I love the freedom to direct my own life.

I'm passionate about art and music, and fill my life with lots of both. I have a love of adventure, but my type of adventure rarely involves bungee jumping - more of a discovering a really amazing bookstore and getting lost for hours kind of adventurer. I also have a thirst to keep pushing the boundaries, which occasionally gets me in trouble. I'm also an incredibly honest person, sometimes to my own detriment.

PHILOSOPHY

For better or worse I'm a severe smart ass, and I tend to take a humorous approach to life rather than a dramatic one. I always strive to treat others with kindness and always try to forgive. Patting fluffy animals is essential to my happiness.

Oh, and most importantly: always keep chocolate in your purse, you never know when a Dementor will attack. Or you'll get hungry.

音乐、电影和书籍

Favourite music is constantly changing, but the most consistent at the top of the list are Elbow, the Decemberists Radiohead and Peter Gabriel. I listen to a lot of indie music, but also lots of folk. My mom is an ethnomusicologist (yes, that's a real thing), so my tastes stretch fairly far and wide!

I can quote the Labyrinth from start to finish (songs included), but am easily persuaded to watch movies without giant mullets. I have wanted to direct films for a good chunk of my life, so it's safe to say I love movies.

Books - my favourite authors are Ursula Le Guin and Barbara Kingsolver. I love strong female writers, but a book doesn't need to be chick lit for me to enjoy it. Although come to think of it, most of my favourite authors ARE women... hmm, need to go read some Hemingway or something now.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've done so many amazing things in my life! How do you pick one? If I had to pick, I would say canoeing through the little islands in Phang Nga Bay in Thailand is one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

教，学，和分享

I am a trained artist and designer, and would love to share my skills and knowledge! I can paper mache with the best of them, spin wool, sew, basically make anything. I'm handy with power tools too.
