Adventures in Slow Motion:
Adventure cycling is a growing trend in the bike community. It can be scary at first to leave everything behind and head out on an adventure, but it's also liberating. We love to share our stories with others so they, too, can find their own adventure at 12 miles per hour. So please slow down and truly experience the world your traveling through and the people who share it. Really taking your time to explore. One of our favorite things about bicycle touring is getting to every destination fueled by our own power! Carrying everything on the back of your bicycle makes for a great feeling that we hope to inspire everyone else to experience. So come with us on a journey of inspiration, and let us show you how easy it is to find the key to unlocking your own adventures!

Why Creativity Is Important to Me
I'm a creative person, It's my passion, and I love to share that with others. Creativity comes in many forms, and mine comes in unexpected, imaginative, innovative, and expressive ways! So many people these days are so worried about being "normal" or "fitting in" that they don't tap into their own unique abilities, talents, or potential. That's why I aspire to encourage everyone I come across (friends, family members, strangers) to find out what they're good at and then go for it!

Light up your creativity and Imagination
Many of my recent creations have been constructed using LEDs, motors, sensors, and boards. Exploring the world of digitally responsive garments is both exciting and frustrating. I create wearable art using fabric, scissors, thread, solder, electrical components, and imagination. I am a draper/pattern maker, and I love collaborating with designers to construct intricate, beautiful costumes that are exceptional because of our creative teamwork. My favorite part of being the draper is taking a rendering from two-dimensional images and recreating the costume in three-dimensional forms. I obtain a sense of accomplishment when I compare the original rendering and see my finished creation. I have incorporated the latest technologies, including computer patterning, three-dimensional printing, and circuitry design, into my work. Combining the different skills, crafts, and experiences helps me create beautiful and unique wearable artwork.
