CURRENT MISSION

come up with a worthy mission

ABOUT ME

endlessly curious. A good reader, try-er, eater, adventurer. I love to paint/draw, play soccer, practice yoga, sing, win strangers over, travel, paint people's nails, draw people's portraits, talk hypotheticals, get better at things, light candles, bake cookies, hang out with dogs, make dinner for friends, live life as an experiment, rethink modern morality/sensibilities, try to figure out how you can attack a specific cell-type without damaging other cells in the surrounding environment, draw things that make complex ideas seem simple, and hang out anywhere with a good view.

PHILOSOPHY

Go up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
