I hope to create art & software that celebrate the queerness of human experience.

I make music with Teacup Gorilla, theater with Grapefruit Lab, and web software with OddBird. I’m an Invited Expert on the CSS Working Group, a core contributor to the Sass language, a regular conference speaker, and a lover of yarn-related crafts.

wearing a bright yellow leather jacket,
trans lightning earrings,
and a headset mic
while speaking at a conference.

in a brown flannel,
in front of a blue screen.

singing into a mic,
with Dan on his knees playing guitar,
and a drum set behind them.

standing at a mic and holding papers,
in front of a large blank screen.
