Outside the screen

I make things
with my hands too.

I'm always creating something. Designing products, building community, making greeting cards at my kitchen table. The need to make things is constant, and that same love of people and craft shows up everywhere in my life.

Crabby Baddies

Crabbing meetups
for the culture.

I organize and host Crabby Baddies, a social crabbing meetup group built around getting outside, meeting people, and having a ridiculous amount of fun while doing it.

There's something genuinely satisfying about a day on the water with people who were strangers in the morning. Good community doesn't happen by accident. You build it.

Lost wax casting.
Jewelry from scratch.

At Sharon Art Studio in Golden Gate Park, I take courses in lost wax casting, a metalworking process where you carve a model in wax, encase it in plaster, burn it out, and cast metal in its place.

It's slow, precise, and unforgiving. Which is exactly why I love it. There's no Ctrl+Z in metalwork. You think before you cut.

The same instinct that makes me want to get the interaction right, the seam between digital and physical, the thing that someone holds and uses, shows up here too. I just happen to be casting the metal myself.
