A Rich Tragedy
The Ship of Dreams. The Millionaire’s Special. The Unsinkable Ship. All nicknames of the RMS Titanic. Among the 2,223 passengers were the first, second, and third class. Their stories range in every conceivable way, from their amenities to the documentation of their accounts. I will attempt to unveil unknown truths about these voyagers and the ways in which their stories have been told since the tragic day that was April 14th, 1912.

The Thrill of Calm
It came after a long year, dark and gray I had my wall built up so high and I liked it that way. The bricks had no way through,

The Day My Innocence Died

Marketing My Own Way
I’ll paint the picture for you. Years and years passed since I graduated college and I was STILL struggling to start a real career. There was a summer of being a camp counselor.. while my peers were working at hospitals. There were a few months of babysitting.. while my Bachelor's degree collected dust on my bookshelf.

Boom goes Dinomite
Dino is my cat. There are a lot of things I can say about him. He does all of the normal cat things: he makes plenty of biscuits, he turns possessed in the middle of the night, and he’s food-obsessed. I’ve been around cats for a while, and yet, I have never found one quite like Dino.

Sitting against a course tree trunk, reading an inviting book, Hearing creatures chirp and flounce, giving the sky a probing look.

Deep Domain
In this domain you will find a world unlike any other you have seen. Fish and maneaters, tricksters and fraudulent usurpers frequent these waters. Beware and heed this warning: these sharks are not your friends.

Arabic Calligraphy
I began doing my own Arabic calligraphy at 15 years old. The beautifully intricate Arabic script has always been so intriguing to me that I became obsessed with recreating it in different styles. The cascading loops and strategically placed dots and symbols carry a history and culture so rich and breathtakingly beautiful that I almost felt unworthy of recreating it.

Benefits of a Paper Rose
1. It will never die. Origami is back-breaking work. You pour not only time and effort into this project, but you pour your very soul into the curls and folds of fragile pieces of paper. From the well-measured cuts to the messy glue work, you can rest assured that your hard work will take much longer to decompose than a regular rose would.
