Dividing my time about 70/30 between my new home New York and my hometown Los Angeles. (In case you were wondering, my Los Angeles = beach/hiking/nature & avant grade theater/music scene mixed in with the film crowd. Although I am quite aware of many of the other LAs you can easily submerse yourself in.) I came to New York for work and it's been great so far. See the next section for that.

One goal for this summer, my second summer in NYC, is to explore outside the city. I need to find good hiking accessible from the city for my sanity. I love the city, but the biggest thing I miss about LA besides the year-round sun is the easy access to nature.

Working as a video/multi-media and scenic designer for live performance, theater and installation. Some production design and art dept for film/tv. My schedule is erratic and I travel a lot. Every project is a completely new challenge.

Collaborative arts!
Synthetic thinking.

I'm smart and kind and I love dogs. I'm good at what I do.
Or, just my red hair.

what stories are about and also, how they are about them

my brother in fiji in the peace corps -- good luck bro!

Working in studio or seeing a show. May involve a glass of wine or two.

I almost never read other people's favorites lists. It is much more interesting to talk about those things in person because the passion and criticism just doesn't come through in a list.

Why are we on here if not to meet new people we might also be attracted to?
