I feel most alive when I am learning.

I might even say that I'm "addicted to insight". A fulfilling life is full of constant discovery. I am a lateral thinker who is suspicious of specialization. I hold a graduate degree in Interdisciplinary Art, Media, and Design. My research methodologies are eclectic, eccentric, experiential, and fuelled by a love of conversation, reading, looking, listening, and feeling.
