Live at the XK Intersection

Field Notes
Four ways I look at the world. Tap a circle.
EExperienceWhere you can find me
Yes, I'm a mermaid (see About). You'll always find me near water. Underwater is a whole other life, and it's my safe place.
CCreativityWhat inspires me
I'm always somewhere new, and my friends and family have stopped being surprised by where I turn up. You'll find me with a camera or on a walk, taking photos that challenge how I see the world and teach me to really look.
PPerspectiveWhat shifts my mindset
I've set a goal to meet at least one new person every week. Every person is a window onto how someone else sees the world, and you never know what you'll learn.
UUniverseCulture fun fact
In Paris I ate only steak tartare, escargot and frog legs for three days straight, every meal, to find the best one.

Back to home

At the intersection, I create. This is the system behind my work. 







          
Creativity
How I imagine, design, experiment
and bring ideas into form.

         Experience
The places I’ve been, the people I’ve learned from, and the moments that have shaped my understanding.



       
Culture (Universe)
The global influences, backgrounds, and environments that inform how I see the world.

         Perspective
The way I interpret, analyze, and translate ideas into meaningful design.







Logo Breakdown





If there’s a direction, I’ve X’d it.

Like an X, my work moves in multiple directions, shaped by experience, movement, and the places I’ve been and am going.
