CURRENT MISSION

To be productive in my unproductivity...

ABOUT ME

I finished my Graphic Design degree last year and have been traveling for the last few months.
Illustration and design keeps me most happy. I also like making things... mostly clothes and jewlery and sometimes other things. I like taking photos of the things I'm scared of never seeing again.
I love music, films, spending hours in an art gallery, flicking through overpriced magazines, drinking tea but not coffee...

PHILOSOPHY

Just when I feel like I begin to understand something, I realise how much I actually don't... and I think that is a nice way to be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel like I see amazing things most days. Sometimes it just takes a while for them to catch up with me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I never really feel confident enough in my own abilities to feel qualified to 'teach' someone how to do anything... BUT, if asked, I'll show you everything I know!

At the moment I would like to learn how to play violin... this may be a fleeting thing... hm.
