Hey there! My name is Risa and I am a deeply interdisciplinary creative with interests ranging from interaction and product design to urban planning and architecture.

Stubbornly resisting specialization, I will go to great lengths to make things myself from scratch (this website is just one example).

If I'm not learning how to make something new, I can probably be found either in the ocean or in the mountains. I work as a wilderness guide for my peers, organizing trips for surfing, backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, and more.
