about me

Hi! I’m D!

I’m a designer living in a quirky little beach town just outside of Seattle. After 10 years living downtown and a few years in the heart of Berlin, i’m learning the rhythms of suburban life with beach days and first attempts at gardening. I grew 120 tomatoes last year!

I’m obsessed with my two kittens, Moose and Griffey, their namesake my still-long-suffering love of the Seattle Mariners. Can purr in the park be a thing? 🐈‍⬛

My design journey started young, drawing pictures out of encyclopedias (those giant books we had before AI). I’ve been making things ever since. You can find me at a pottery class, teaching myself how to solder stained glass or exploring any way to keep it analog.

There’s rarely a dull moment. I love collaborating on creative stuff, whether it’s design, community, or an over-the-top themed party. Got an idea brewing? I’m in.
