I love my bicycle. It's plastered in stickers and has a wonky gear, but I find it to be an astounding machine. Like— what do you mean I can get 5 miles south of town to my favorite coffee shop in 20 minutes with just my body & two wheels? It's a very utilitarian thing for me; I'm not very competitive, but I love to fly above the asphalt and wander into new worlds.

Before I ever even considered art as a career, I thought I was gonna be a writer. It really stressed me out. What I wrote was personal— my way to let loose and feel all those big teen feelings. I wrote hundreds of angsty poems when I stumbled into graphic design; it took a back burner for many years. I'm happy to have found a place now where I can incorporate writing into my essays and hand-lettering projects.

Music is huge for me. I can't really think straight without a musician setting the tone. All time faves include St. Vincent, Steely Dan, Patti Smith, Laura Marling, Jessica Pratt, Jens Lekman, Florence + the Machine, Stevie Wonder, & Joni Mitchell.

I fucking love cereal. It's not even a sweet tooth thing— my favorites are the plain-Jane Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, & Rice Chex. My all-time favorite is Cinnamon Life— but that's just waaay too much sugar for me to have all the time. I've probably had a bowl of cereal (or two) every day for the last 15 years.
