i love making friends ! if you’d like, you can totally slack me for my instagram or to video chat 🙂 (the video part is highly optional)
likes: – fruit ! top 3: mangoes, strawberries, pineapples
– sunshine
– emojis (i feel like they’re modern, universal hieroglyphics?)
– dank memes
– idle time in nature. the destination and the journey bring me joy
– bringing thoughts into reality !
– philosophizing
– pondering, having my head in the clouds
– tea ! & anything green tea flavored (especially mochi)
– mindfulness, wakeful meditation
– shapes
– spirituality
– the space where optimism and realism coexist & don’t contradict one another
– new music friday (favorite genres: reggae, indie/alternative, punk rock, hip hop, latin, electronic)
– dancing !! music festivals !!
– being barefoot
– my cat, ajna
– excitement, the feeling of being passionately compelled to do ______
– adrenaline
– anime & classic cartoons
– space & astronomy
– science
– chill vibes, levelheadedness
– keeping up with my spanish ! i grew up speaking spanish at home & in panamá, so any chance to keep that part of my culture/heritage/memories alive is groovy
– the words ‘groovy,’ ‘rad,’ and ‘tranquila’ – world cultures !
dislikes:
– being too grounded or overconstrained
– not chill vibes
– capitalism
– the meat & dairy industry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
– injustice, institutionalized power structures
– taking life too seriously
I am most looking forward to the studio ! having the space to create a community of designers, & learning from each other’s explorations gets me super jazzed. stepping out of career life to spend time in a design monastery/dojo (if you will), and creating, taking risks, and growing as a designer sounds like a dream 😀
