I am a maker, educator, & lifelong learner based in Portland, OR, USA. I hold a BS in Mechanical Engineering and try to work at the intersection of art, technology, and community as much as I can.

Learning about unfamiliar tools and ideas is my primary motivator for engaging in new ventures. 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.
