Ongoing Projects

  • Letterpress Special Interest Group (SIG) -- I took a typography course in college and fell in love with the beauty and history of letterpress printing. Ten years later, finally bought a small press -- the Line-O-Scribe! My dream is to have a Vandercook proof press or similar at i3Detroit.

Skills, Knowledge, Interests

  • I'm a civil/environmental engineer and materials scientist by degree. Most of the things I work with are too big to hack at home. But do let me know if you need some specialized concrete. Or math help. Or CAD help. I support STEM education initiatives through the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD) and other groups.
  • I sing alto in Cantata Academy Chorale and adore choral music. I've been on the board since 2009, so I've learned a thing or two about marketing and nonprofit governance.
  • I enjoy a number of crafts, but I'm usually more interested in the product than the process. I've done mosaic art, basic crochet, some marginal watercolor, and a whole lot of scrapbooking. I can usually draw straight lines.
  • I love modern architecture, especially when it's green. [1] I'm intrigued by repurposed and recycled projects, and real estate development.

  • I've dabbled in programming, but fell off the web development wagon circa 2002.
  • I'm fluent in LOLcat.

Want to Learn

  • Basic woodworking
  • Jewelry and ceramics
  • I'm dying to learn enough music theory to arrange music for SATB voicing.

Wishlist
