About Me

CURRENT MISSION

contentment through simplicity

ABOUT ME

I'm a late-twenties graphic designer living in New York City, trying to stay connected to other corners of the world through CS. I have a hunger for knowledge, adventure, and a passionate curiosity that rarely leaves me in one place for too long. I'm looking to share experiences and honest connections with those who find as much value in a life well traveled as I.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first country I visited outside of the US when I was younger was Morocco. It is such a vibrant culture, and the first step in my ever-growing wanderlust. Since then I've spent time in South America, Europe, Turkey, India, Nepal, and Cambodia. Making and traveling with some of my closest friends has always been an adventure.
