About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to listen

ABOUT ME

I always find something to smile about.

I experience the world through movement.

I like looking at all the little details that make up a space.

I prefer sticking to side streets and cozy neighborhoods.

I'm a good food junkie.

I like to shake it. Always.

PHILOSOPHY

We are not victims of what "life throws at us," but a product of the choices we make.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy artists and authors that are willing to take risks or alternative paths in their work, those that challenge me to a new perspective. That said, I have no favorite genre.

Musically I am drawn to alt-country, indie, conscious hip-hop and anything that makes me shake it. I have no patience for heavy metal, modern country, and Top 40 hits. I love hearing music very few people have heard. Now Listening: Joanna Newsom, Beirut, Bon Iver, Sparkelhorse, Deerhof, !!!, and so much more.

Definitely a bookworm. I'm not so great at producing words, but I love digesting them. Selected faves: The Book Thief, God of Small Things, Written on the Body, Love/Freedom/Aloneness, Free Play, Einstein's Dreams....

I heart film.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
