Curious, creative and a little unconventional. I love books, writing, art, languages, history, science, theology and conversations that wander somewhere unexpected. I’m happiest exploring old bookshops and historic places, making things, learning something new, or disappearing down an unnecessary research rabbit hole. I value kindness, independent thought, curiosity and people who can disagree without making it a battle. I have a ridiculous sense of humor, love good tea, and I’m currently sculpting a dragon—so the alias is fairly literal.
