writing

I've been writing since I was very small and am not planning to stop. my writing is interested in the specific weight of everyday objects, memory as unreliable narrator, belonging and displacement, and the kind of jokes that are also quietly true.

I also write a blog — dessin on substack — about joy, creative practice, and what it means to make things. published roughly whenever I have something to say.
