Outside of work, I like to create afk. 🚫💻

I'm happiest in the summer when I can get my hands dirty in the garden. Inside, you can also find me getting my hands dirty (both metaphorically and literally) in various art media. I've dabbled quite a bit over the years. My current go-tos are:
‍
_ free-hand embroidery, my oldest and dearest friend.
_ botanical illustration. I'll get my Advanced Certification from the School of Botanical Art & Illustration later this year. 🥳
_ wood turning, my newest pastime.

Take a look at some things I've made👇🏼
