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