Short Answer: 2026, hopefully!

Long Answer: For those unaware, I’ve been working on a poetry book titled “Waffles Are the Sponsor of My Woes” since the Spring of 2025. I’m getting close to finishing the poems, and will soon begin the editing and publishing phase. Wish me luck!

Short Answer: Remain an Avid Communicator and Cardboard Enthusiast.

Long Answer: While my career plans and goals are constantly fluxuating, my general concensus on the future tends to involve art, music, active living, and communications in some form. Whether I sing, play the guitar, or just listen to music; whether I sell art, teach lessons, or just do it on the side; whether I play a sport, learn martial arts, or just do casual calisthenics; and whether I become an administrator, entrepreneur, or analyst, all of these aspects I hope to keep up by ever-changing means.

Short Answer: Oh boy, is that a can of worms.

Long Answer: I’ve had a very back and forth and back and forth (and back and forth) perception of social media. It’s honestly been a toss up these past few years if I have one at the moment or not. I long to avoid encouraging algorithmic domination, but social media’s omnipresence makes things complicated. I need to have some sort of public image for credibility’s sake, but prefer in-person connection every time.

This website is an attempt to escape the controlling environment of social media, and build my own secluded system for just my stuff.

Short Answer: Yep!

Long Answer: I also enjoy music, games, reading and writing. I will confidently say I am best known game-wise for playing Bananagrams (I have all 18 versions, the tote bag, hat, shirt, and pins), but I dabble in a number of cardboard games such as MTG and HermitCraft TCG. I do quite a bit of writing for this website, but also personally. I haven’t met a lot of people who enjoy writing essays, but I’m one of them, which has proven to be a blessing in college. Oh, and I play a LOT of Minecraft.

Short Answer: To bring joy.

Long Answer: Art is a process to be enjoyed by the artists, and the results are to be enjoyed by everyone. Rather than make a rigorous career out of art, I choose to make what I enjoy making, when I want to make it, for whomever I want to make it. The goal beyond myself though, is to share my love of art and healthy creativity so as to inspire others of things greater than my own imagination.

Short Answer: Not really…

Long Answer: I prefer art art as a meaning-making hobby, not a money-moaking hobby. The biggest reward I want from my art, I get when I make something fun for friends and family. An inside joke turned into a tshirt, or a silly moment sculpted into a figurine—a tulip embroidered on a shirt. I’ll spend countless hours crocheting roses with the hope of receiving a happy reaction. So if I don’t know you and I wouldn’t get much joy from your reaction, then it’s safe to say I probably won’t do your commission.
