On the internet I go by Atom, though obviously it’s not actually my name. As a way to sort of maintain some privacy I decided that I would re-adopt my original internet pseudonym as a means to distance my private and public internet presences. Atom-Bot was actually my gamer tag for a really long time, and when I was an enthusiastic Rainbow Six Siege player it was an appropriate tag to have because “bot” usually equates to being bad, which I was.

A few things about myself. I am an artist and a designer based in the Western United States. I went to UC Davis where I majored in Design and Art History, with focuses on Fashion Design and Graphic Design, but of course like many Zillenials, I do not have a career in my degree, and now I work in fuels reduction and forest health, which I absolutely love, its the best job ever :) but I still try to stay active with my creative projects though and love to paint, draw, sew, photography and video editing.

Outside of my creative hobbies though I also love weightlifting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and backcountry skiing, hiking, camping, and mountain biking.

I love to try new things and I am trying to find more ways to expand my horizons and learn. I hope to get more opportunities to travel one day and to go to see all of the artwork that I studied in school. I aspire to do my best, even while living in a world that feels hopeless.
