I fell in love with art before I could name the colours that I absorbed from the pages of picture books. As a lifetime learner, I've amassed a strangely specific mental library of (debatably) fun and weird facts and stories. As a student of art and of design, these facts and stories come to life, and I've been doing my best to put them to paper. As much as I love making, I also love to consume; anything from movies and television, to fiction and non-fiction writing. I love cooking, baking, and eating in general, playing music on my ukulele, and I especially love my two cats, Gingko and Mochi.
