A home for pursuits that don’t fit in boxes

I've been a certified Divemaster since 2015, with hundreds of dives logged across coral reefs, shipwrecks, and open ocean. The sea has always felt like home — a place of stillness, awe, and deep connection. My passion for ocean conservation grew out of witnessing firsthand the fragility of marine ecosystems. Through both advocacy and stewardship, I hope to help protect these waters… for the creatures who live in them, and the humans who are healed by them.

My art blends ink, acrylic, and abstraction to express the things that are hard to name like identity, memory, hope, change. My writing explores what it means to be human in a world shaped by culture, technology, and the past we carry with us.

Together, they form a record of what I’m noticing, feeling, and learning. You’ll find both finished pieces and works in progress here… fragments of thought, color, and meaning, shared in the hope they might resonate with something in you, too.

This is where the side quests live. Random obsessions like knitting, pottering, decorating birthday cakes for Cake4Kids, building robots I may or may not name, dabbling in fashion, and making music just because it feels good.

Not quite work, not quite rest, they’re the things I do for no reason other than to follow my curiosities (and for the plot!). I’ll be sharing more of these tangents on the blog: loosely stitched, generously frosted, and always pursued for the joy of it.
