Juniper berries, tall skies, tool belt and vintage cars... Traveled to NY from Berlin via Chi-town, leaving behind pink hair and booming speakers to lo-fi tunes and minimized closet space.
I'm a fast walker and fearless driver, a learner and accumulator of experiences, a dreamer and idealistic realist, a citizen of the world. I run my own business in fashion, yet I still don't understand what motivates people to follow any fad that comes along. Style is timeless, as is integrity.

Half the time regretting that there is not enough time to explore all the things I would like to explore. So I try to take it in a little at a time, whenever I can, wherever I can.
I started a business making patterns for fashion designers four years ago. I love my work, but don't consider it my life. (although this work/ play balance thing can still be challenging)

Using my hands: making clothes, throwing together a tasty meal from the remnants in the fridge, keeping a nice home. I know how to build a table and pitch a tent. I'm great at moving, too. You'd want me around if the world came to an end. I'm also good at planning trips- making them feel entirely spontaneous while always having a place to sleep at night. Did I say that you'd want me around?

Maybe a slight accent.

I don't have a TV which means that I probably read more or spend more time on Netflix when trying to escape reality.

Food: I'd like to say 'just about anything', but let me make that 'just about anything good, as long as it's gluten free'.

Daily: how to make a better fitting garment
Often: form and function, people and what motivates them, language, memory and the occasional loss thereof, the places I still want to travel to.
