ABOUT ME
The basic stuff : I quit my desk job to pursue freelancing and creative work and am determined to meet like minded individuals so that we can navigate each other towards a less terrifying world.
The other stuff: I've always been willing to work hard and try new things. I'm happy to invite others into my space to offer us both the chance of growing through mutual experiences.
PHILOSOPHY
"Since my house burned down, I now have a better view of the rising moon."
