I'm an astigmatic expat writer, editor, speaker, author of crochet books, blogger, crafter and founder of the Mighty Ugly project. But really, I'm just a restless soul bumbling around a creative life, passionate about talking people into indulging their creativity and living loud. I write here about creative business, crafts, books, pop culture and ideas that force their way out of my brain. Wanna talk about stuff? Don't hold back.
