About Me

Canada Day 2009 in Yaletown, Vancouver

Thanks for showing an interest in the person behind the designs (and the podcast, and the blog…)

I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada (which will explain the Canadian spelling throughout this website) with my sweetie Chris, a salty tank of fish and a green carpet anemone, and a houseful of dust bunnies.

I work two days a week and teach a third day at Three Bags Full in East Van, and teach one day a week at Urban Yarns on the West Side. Other work includes teaching hoop dance classes, springboard diving, and doing administrative work at the UBC Aquatic Centre.

For fun, I play waterpolo, hoop and juggle, and I’m learning (in warm weather) to ride a unicycle! I’ve just started climbing at an indoor gym, and in years with good snow, I snowboard at local mountains and at Whistler. Anytime I can convince Chris to go out dancing, I’m a happy girl :)

I have done a bit of travel and want to do more, including taking a train or bicycling across Canada, and my next planned adventure is to introduce Chris to Burning Man! After that, who knows?
