favorite item of clothing: a very colorful, very patterned vintage Lord & Taylor duster jacket with big gold buttons. purchased at the late Arbor Vitae Vintage in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
one thing you never leave home without: my American Express card. jk. sunglasses. my eyes are very blue and abnormally large, which is the worst combo for enduring sunlight.
share something unique about yourself: i'm a visually & directionally gifted human. a walking MapQuest in every city.
your last trip overseas: Iceland in the middle of winter right before the pandemic. lots of mishaps that lead to some sweet, synchronistic surprises: hitchhiking alone in the snowy countryside in the pitch black, getting locked out of my friend's condo during an arctic freeze and befriending her non-English speaking neighbor who treated me to hot tea and wool socks, becoming besties with a local who was actually a friend of a friend's friend in the States.
go-to alcoholic drink: aperol spritz but right now I'm favoring framboise lambic beer from Belgium.
current obsession: Hacks on HBOMax, the cast of Hacks, fans of Hacks, filming locations of Hacks (my city of Long Beach!), and any Hacks related content on social media. LMK if you wanna chat Hacks...
two words friends would use to describe you: I get a lot of "cute & funny"
five things you love:
2. organizing my life into acrylic bins
3. mailing cards to friends with Mrs. Grossmans stickers tucked inside, followed by a stickerface selfie to sign things off
5. R.L. Stine "Fear Street" novels (and their cover art) from the early 90s. The Secret Bedroom is my favorite. I had the pleasure of meeting R.L. Stine at Book Expo America in DC years ago, he is the nicest man
biggest anxiety: as I start to age, driving. especially at night with my astigmatisms, lol. i'm very phobic of left turns in LA. green arrows barely exist, so there's a lot of yielding to multiple lanes of traffic.
in 2022, you're most excited for: scripting on a new animated feature film project, practicing and honing my voice acting, attending more comedy shows, paper illustrating again, and purging the family attic.
