spin off stuff is a collection of photos linked to my blog, which focuses on making stuff, discovering quirky people, objects and places, the local and the international, and just plain good fun.

I'm a crafty type who is into DIY-ing it, creative collaborations, mixing the traditional with the innovative, rummaging through thrift/charity stores and garage sales, peeping into other people's homes via design blogs, and eating rice pudding.

I'm currently based in Ottawa, Canada, and have lived in Toronto, Montreal and London, UK. I love traveling and the excitement of exploring local cultures. You'll often find me in transit and on runways.

By day, I facilitate partnerships and networks in the arts for Canada's national arts funding agency. By night, I produce creative nights out called Spins & Needles in Canada and beyond, teach others how to silkscreen and other creative techniques at various workshops,and fiddle around with web design and my blog. You can also find more Flickr photos via the spins & needles Flickr page.
