| Occupation | Costume Designer/Wardrobe Technician |
| Introduction | I hate the color yellow.
I'm a costume designer & wardrobe technician, amateur mycologist, Mighty Boosh enthusiast, experimental musician, casual observer, perpetual night owl, philosophical skeptic, maker of artifacts, and much more... I'm into thinkers, dreamers, mischief-makers, performers, designers. People who have a passion to create or destroy. Intelligent people who have something to say. The great communicators. |
