Getting dressed is my favorite daily brief. I cry over food. There is no time or place inappropriate for dancing.
I figure skate every week to feel like a blue heron. I accidentally went to clown school.
I volunteer to make sure kids have the opportunity to learn creative problem solving earlier :)
Now, for what brings us here today.
I thought my life purpose was to make people smile. A good line. A clever thought.
Proof I could make the world feel lighter for a second.
But somewhere between the puns and the truth, I realized people don’t laugh because you’re funny. They laugh because they feel seen. That flicker of recognition is the light I’ve been chasing in the awkward, offbeat, and unseen ever since. Because the things that make us human are often the things we’re taught to hide in the dark.
In everything I make, I try to break down that wall of shame and give people permission to be human.
Turns out, that’s the best way to make people smile.
