this is my best friend, love of my life, eli. we live on 36 acres of almonds (a(l)monds if you prefer that vernacular) in ballico, ca.

originally, i’m from san francisco, ca—born and raised (my sister and I are 7th generation native san franciscans).

for the past 5+ years, i’ve been a graphic designer, specifically in trim and packaging design in apparel. up until last year, when i was laid off.

now, i’m going back to school to get my bsn in nursing, where I want to get into emergency or surgical nursing. i’m also a wilderness first responder, and hoping to volunteer next summer in yosemite while i bang out microbiology.

while i might not practice a whole lot of design (i still freelance under my “company”, grafik lab), this is one of my spaces where i collect ideas and inspiration, either for me, for you…
