I am a semi-hardworking UC Berkeley student. If I could, I would leave my school, get on a bus and find crazy papers and images all over the world.

I ultimately want to work for National Geographic-- that is if publications will still be printed in the future. I love the web- it brought me this, and flickr, and facebook and couchsurfers. But I don't want to get my news and other publications through a pixelated screen. There is something about holding paper- reading the words and seeing the colors.

And that's why I wish to make ATCs.

Music is one of my ultimate loves- I get that that is the same for most everyone. But you'd be surprised to know how many people don't CARE about music. When I am crafting, I love to play some music. Some of my favorite artists are: 1. Roy Orbison 2. Neil Diamond 3. The Decemberists 4. The Shins 5. Bob Dylan

AND MUCH MUCH MORE. Images and music go hand in hand and ignite much inspiration from eachother!

My favorite crafts? I love making postcards for my friends. And now that I learned about ATCS- I love to make cards for my strangers.

And I don't just want to do it for the sake of doing it. I want mine to mean something. And if I swap, I want the ones I receive to mean something to. It's a connection, you know?

Some of my favorite things are: 1. Vintage looking people 2. Paper layering 3. Anything with birds or elephants- just random aesthetics 4. Anything that looks like a Joseph Cornell Box

I don't read as much as I'd like, but here are a few of my favorites. 1. Catcher in the Rye 2. The Things they Carried 3. Joy Luck Club 4. Pride and Prejudice 5. Persuasion 6. Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs
