* I am fulfilling a dream by moving back to my small university town and opening my very own "Dream of the 90s" late-night cafe, which will offer board games, retro video games, VHS to watch, etc. We will be aura farming the heck out of this Third Space called Stitches Oddities. We'll be open super late, offer great snacks, and delicious coffee/ tea/ and mocktails. (We were going to open in September 2025, but a fire 4 days before our soft opening has set us back.)

Previously I:
* Worked in advertising, editing national and international commercials.

* Made a (video) zine: Tainted Playground

* Tried to learn cello

* Took classes to learn German/ Scottish Gaelic

* Took many photographs (film and digital)

* Brought together over 10K alumni from my university and started an Alumni Takeover Event

* Have raised money for several charities that mean a lot to me

I am always looking to learn something new.
Collaborate on a project.
Help someone create something special.

Can we collaborate? Please let me know!

I've spent my whole life creating.

I've been writing song lyrics since I could barely write. I've been drawing, writing, painting, dancing, etc. I was a weird kid who "played" DALLAS (the TV show) and repeatedly tried to get Freddy Krueger to make a cameo in my dreams.

At 14, I fell in love with the town of Twin Peaks, and then tumbled headfirst into David Lynch's world, which led me down many parallel paths in alternative film, music, art, poetry... a world in which I always knew I belonged.

But I'm a Capricorn, and I always judged that I should play it smart. I mostly made myself stay away from art in school for fear of getting "sidetracked". I concentrated on things that would "be more responsible". I graduated from university with a degree in film studies, and then I became a professional video editor for 20+ years.

The older I get, the more I realize that my true happiness lies in creating things and spaces for people to enjoy. I'm obsessed with constantly learning new things. I now try to earn a living working for myself and never boxing myself into a corner again. I'm curious. I'm creative, and I'm determined to leave the world better than I came to it.
