About
I'm a Gemini with more of a serious side, but I love conversation, good beer, and as much laughter as I can get.
I am an intensely curious learner. I try to live deliberately and examine life. I have a great thirst for knowledge, a desire to engage thought, and an ambition to communicate clearly. I have too many books and often consider going back to school. If you share good movies, books, or music with me, I'll feel related to you.
I studied Graphic Design (with a minor in Psychology). As a designer/artist, I take special interest in clearly-organized user interfaces and documents, finely-crafted typography, illustration, new media, and expressive photography. As someone who feels inter-connected with the people and things around me, I take interest in psychology, sociology, social justice, and other matters pertaining to privilege and structures of inequality.
