Scribbled (or typed) here lie the inner workings of my non-stop neural impulses in regards to life, location, communication, people, and anything thing else I happen to find witty and relevant.

As of late, I have been magnetically and somewhat obsessively attached to the concept/theory/practice of lifestyle design, particularly in it’s dictation of location independence.

I haven’t had a “normal” job in years. And if you define “normal” as a 9 to 5, I had one of those for five days once.

I’ve been living this alternative lifestyle my whole working life. I just didn't know how to make it work until now.








As just a wee chick I came to terms with the fact that there are far too many interesting career paths, things to do, people and places to see and discover. One person could never do it all in a lifetime strapped to a cubicle. Sometime around 14 adventure filled years of age, I made a promise to myself that I would never surrender my freedom to a time clock.

Well the dreams of a 14 year old one day met the reality of bills, and some allowances had to be made.

I decided to be an actor.

This plan was nothing short of brilliant! I would study one art form and have the freedom to become anything else I wanted in my lifetime and be paid for it; all without having to sacrifice the flexible schedule I craved.

My mildly successful career in that direction has been satisfying in it’s own right and is certainly a job title I am proud to still carry. It was not, however, paying my bills. This inspired some rather creative thinking on my part, some impersonation of well-known cartoon characters, some catering to the needs and wants of hungry patrons, and eventually the discovery of my potential as an entrepreneur.

Thus my first business as a mobile massage therapist and personal trainer was established in Los Angeles, CA and I fumbled and fought through that dreaded first year. Enervated, I crawled out of 2008 in the black, analyzed the journey, and concluded there was far too much location dependence in the health service industry.

Lucky for me, I’ve never been one to stop at one job at a time. Within months of closing the massage business I was translating my newly adapted skills as a design intern into my own freelance graphic and web design studio.

That brings us to now: I’m temporarily gathering my bearings in the Emerald City, getting the word out about my studio and my work, and scheming up a storm of a plan for my post Seattle life.
