Hey! I’m a designer, educator, artist and performer. I live in Montreal, Canada but am often off travelling for my creative practice (conferences, workshops, residencies, etc) and just for fun! I love meeting new people and hearing their stories! And laughing!

I lead workshops walking with folks and collecting debris to explore how what is left behind can tell us stories about a place. The debris is used to make alternative maps using papermaking processes. I also draw a comic for fun and am trying to learn more about microcontrollers and how I can use electronics in my practice.

I am a queer cis-female currently living with chronic pain and a cat allergies. I like making people laugh. Is that enough?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a creative practitioner that travels a lot for work and I like discovering a place through the people that live there plus I limited expendable income.
