Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi! I'm Duncan, a graphic designer and creative who dabbles in a little bit of everything - art, music, writing, woodworking, coding, etc!

With art, I primarily work with ink and markers, but I'll find myself painting and doing paper crafts for my board games quite often.

I'm also very passionate about music! I've got around a dozen instruments, a few of which I've crafted myself, and it'd be wonderful to learn new songs and play along wherever I go.

I also absolutely love the mountains. Part of my goal of traveling is to see more breathtaking landscapes; I live in a quite urban environment at the moment, and any chance I can get to be more out in the wilderness I will take (while still being close by to cafes and local shops!).

More details about your skills

Woodworking - I currently supervise a university woodshop and have built three of my own instruments so far. I'd be happy to help with any construction and carpentry!

Teaching - I taught martial arts for around 7 years, and I consistently teach Adobe programs, woodworking, and coding; I also recently worked at an after-school academy doing day care for children 5-11, doing fun STEM projects like marshmallow construction and lego robotics!

Animal care - I'm currently fostering Karma, a very loving pitbull/lab mix, and have grown up training dogs my whole life. I haven't had too much experience with farm animals necessarily, but I would love to learn!

Software - I have a bachelor's in graphic design, so I'm used to the standard adobe suite, but I'm also quite familiar with programming and audio production.
