I moved to Portland to be in a progressive city. It's great here, and I think if I weren't in a liberal mecca I'd go a bit insane. My ambitions are large, and I long to travel the world and seek out ways to solve our big problems. I'm a graphic designer/filmmaker, and hope that with a new presidential administration, artists and creative types will start getting the respect we deserve.
