Hello!

Since early 2020, I've taken to baking and try something new every week. This space is dedicated to documenting recipes I've tested and tweaked. I hope you enjoy the process, and eating these goodies, too!

By day, I'm a product designer. In my free time, I also enjoy throwing pottery, playing board games, collecting and researching applied arts objects, and spending time with my dogs #laikaandalfie.
