I'm a crafty, vegan gal, working as a designer and printer at the legendary Hatch Show Print letterpress shop in Nashville. I am trying not to eat sweets. I normally don't like bath or lotion-y stuff (unless it's vegan/cruelty-free). I'm married to an awesome, nerdy, comic book-loving, audiophile with the best sense of humor.
