Hi! Iām a designer, illustrator and serial hobbyist, recently retired after a career in tech. I love learning, making things, cultural excursions, and laughing till I cry. I don’t do much social media, but I figured why not make a blog to document and share my post-career escapades ā what’s the worst that could happen?
