I am a designer by trade, working in fashion having somewhat retreated from my career moving to a lakeside family home in the northern Great Lakes. I have a schnauzer who takes up a lot of energy and time; I spend my days drawing, gardening (when seasonally appropriate), cooking which after two decades in LA and NYC has been great to developed as a skill. In the summer I spend most time on our fishing boat or pontoon - or hitching a ride on a friends sail boat. I play trumpet and enjoy all kinds of music and collect records.
