Hello! I am a 30-something UX Designer living in Los Angeles, California. I am married and a recently bereaved mother. We lost our 12 year old son in December 2021.

In my spare time, I practice aerial arts (aerial silks and hammock), yoga, write fiction, draw, paint, roller skate, and craft.

I love receiving mail and collecting ephemera, and making stickers! I am learning to paint watercolor and have dabbled in gouache. :) I am an avid planner, art journaler, and write fiction occasionally (would love to swap stories with someone!). I am also looking for more penpals.

Lately I have been studying tarot, astrology, healing crystals, and herbology. All things witchy and occult are fascinating! If you are also interested in the above, I would love to swap letters!

Stuff I adore: Botanical illustrations, vintage ephemera, handmade tags, letters, tea, postcards, anything victorian, stamps, celestial and stars, vintage fashion, crystals, stickers, tarot, letters & postcards, washi tape, yoga and meditation, sewing, knitting/crochet, nautical themes.

It changes often, but lately I've been listening to: Tycho, Man Man, alt-j, The Black Keys, Banks, Portugal the Man, The Japanese House, Daughter, Purity Ring, Maya Payne, Emma Wallace.
