Just a ferry ride away
Hi! I’m D!
I’m a designer living in a quirky little beach town just a ferry ride from Seattle. I’ve done my time in the city (Seattle, Berlin), and now I’m learning the rhythms of suburban life — beach days, ferry schedules, first attempts at gardening.
I’m obsessed with my two kittens — Moose and Griffey — their namesake my still-long-suffering love of the Seattle Mariners.
My design journey started young, redrawing 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 (I've bought all the tools), 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.
