About Me

This past year I was doing graphic/web design and co-founded an interdisciplinary artists collective and multi-purpose gallery space in Columbus, Ohio that's still going strong.

I just finished a bicycle tour from Ohio to Colorado and am traveling/moving out west.

I identify as non-binary and use they/them pronouns.

I am vegetarian, used to be vegan, I am comfortable cooking either way.

I also lead an entirely sober life (no alcohol/drugs/etc), that stuff has never interested me much, but I love love love candies and sweets (^ω^)

I love animal friends of all shapes and sizes

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a sponge for learning and gathering random bits of hyper specific knowledge, and can probably help you to at least think through something you're trying to solve.

I'm great at planning/participating in the making of group meals.

I also have lived and stayed in all types of homes, collective houses, co-habitation spaces, etc and take the house rules and personal needs of others very seriously.
