CURRENT MISSION

Looking for an opportunity to explore more of the world, get cultured, meet new faces and experience new, exciting stuff!

ABOUT ME

Freelance graphic designer. I'm an easy going, adventurous individual who enjoys meeting new people and making connections. I'm also an avid coffee drinker, vegetarian food and kraft beer enthusiast, as well as a glorified doodler extraordinary.

PHILOSOPHY

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two of my old housemates used to host couchsurfers when we lived together in downtown Santa Barbara. It was fun playing host, meeting new people, hearing all about their wild adventures and travels.

Those couple experiences were inspiring to say the least. I swore that after I finished school I would jump on the opportunity to travel and see more of the world in this way as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just Last year I was randomly asked if I would design a 8x40 foot mural, commissioned by the Santa Barbara County Arts commission, to be a collaborative piece done by kids in Santa Santa Barbara's Youth Interactive's after school youth program.

To this day my mind is still blown how that happened, but I'm glad it did.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm highly skilled and love tutoring and teaching any of the design programs in the Adobe Graphics suite. I know how to cook pizza, pasta, dosas and samosas from scratch which makes for an eclectic mix of cooking skills which I am happy to share. I've also retained a fair amount of carpentry skills over the course of my life, and am happy to help in making things and fixing stuff.

I would like to learn 3D modeling and animation and continue learning Chinese.
