ABOUT ME

i'm interested in living well by finding ways to enjoy the things i have to do. I want to enjoy my work, surround myself with good people, eat well, grow some if my food, make some of my stuff, and keep studying a little bit of everything before i finally commit to grad school when i'm 30. i am living in san francisco as of a few weeks ago. Looking into starting a design business for accessories and becoming a contractor. I'm interested in finding places in san fran with good food, art, drinks, and conversation.

PHILOSOPHY
