In between freelance design work, here’s what I’ve been up to.
Lou
First and foremost - I finally adopted a pup.
All it took to push me over the edge was a global pandemic.
In late August, Wags and Walks approved me for a week long trial adoption with a little guy who I hadn’t met yet. Six months later and I can’t remember what life was like before we found each other.

Taro
Taro card reading is something i’ve always been interested in. Over the past few months, I have been dabbling.
Step 1 : Choosing a deck
There are so many! I browsed Tarot.com to figure out which one felt right for me to start with. I went with the Smith-Waite Tarot Deck, Centennial Edition. It is a reproduction of the original Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909.
Step 2 : Card setup
I am starting with 3 card readings until I know each card backwards and forwards.
Step 3 : Learning the cards
By documenting each of my readings, I’m gradually memorizing the deck. To define each card, I use a combination of the booklet that came with the deck, Tarot.com, Google & Youtube.
Step 4 : Readings for other people
Once I have a well rounded pool of interpretations per card, I’ll begin to do readings for other people. Eventually I’ll be able to intuitively select the best interpretation for each individual person / reading.
Nesting
To ring in 2021 I treated myself to a new apartment.
Slowly but surely I’m making it my own.
I made a closet for my dog, yes.
