The Other Stuff

Just the coolest looking woman you've seen chillin' in in an office setting.

I’m a New York transplant/Pittsburgh dweller with a penchant for the obscure. In my cozy corner of the world, I share my space with my rabbits, Jayne Mansfield and Pamela Anderson. After work you can catch me PC gaming or designing Spotify playlist covers.
