About me

I am a maker, educator, & lifelong learner based in Portland, OR, USA. I hold a Mechanical Engineering degree and enjoy working at the intersection of art, technology, and community.

Projects

I am a firm believer in project based learning. “I don’t know how” can be a scary thing to admit, but it is also the best place to start. Check out my project journal here.
