I love making art, crafts, and software for my communities. This is a place where I can share the things I make and get the support I need to keep making cool stuff that doesn't make money.

Examples of my work, some completed and some in progress:

  • The Great Rainbow Fairy - an 8 foot tall papier mache fairy puppet created for Wheeling's Pride at the Plaza
  • The "Hands Off!" hand (see below) - a 4 foot by 5 foot papier mache puppet created for the 2025 "Hands Off" protest
  • Smooch - an implementation of the Kisekae Set System for the web
  • Panecastica - a tool for learning languages through reading and comparison
  • A History of Cooperative Enterprises in the Greater Wheeling Area - A WIP history zine of local co-ops to inspire people to start their own cooperatives
  • The Rural Transportation Co-op (temporary name!) - A platform co-op that hopes to improve transportation options in the Ohio Valley
