Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to see and reflect on my life and the country I live in from many different perspectives and places on the earth.
ABOUT ME
I dabble.
I love sewing and fashion design, sustainability, making films, traveling, camping, concerts, being warm, and much more.
PHILOSOPHY
Swapping stories is the best way to live.
"We become so accustomed to you,
we no longer look up
when your shadow falls over the book we are reading
and makes it glow. For all things
sing you: at times
we just hear them more clearly.
-Rilke's Book of Hours, I 45
