best design tip:
Sometimes it is worth taking a step back to re-evaluate what you consider to be a fixed decision; it can lead to unlocking a big design leap forward.

Texturally rich tessellations
best advice:
As written by Twyla Tharp: “you don’t have a really good idea until you combine two little ideas.”
hidden talent:
Out of the box problem solving and catching almost anything before it hits the floor!
if its the last thing i do...
I’ll fulfill my dream of finding a whole forest hillside covered with my favorite culinary mushrooms to forage for dinner.
trip of a lifetime:
Future stay at the Reschio hotel in Perugia, Italy. A beautifully restored castle dating back to 1050.
