about.

hello there friend! my name is Ev, and I have loved telling and experiencing stories for as long as I remember.

I am a poet and irregular painter. My room is filled with a forever fluctuating number of plants, a tangerine koi fish named Apollo, and a collection of postcards and print pieces from museums I have visited. My day-to-day grind is funded by my brother’s Panera sip club, and a constant stream of The Moth podcast.

Nine more random things about me:

1. I sort my bookshelf by color
2. I love boba tea and sushi, and if I ever get a puppy the chance it will be named boba is very high
3. My car is named spike after the brother of snoopy from the peanuts comics (the one with the mustache always having an existential crisis with a cactus)
4. Studio Ghibli films are my obsession
5. Good movie soundtracks and the world of classical music never fail to make me happy
6. Wisdom literature is my go-to genre of biblical texts
7. Currently, I am working towards my bachelor’s of arts in English with a concentration in creative writing and a minor in studio art (what a delightful mouthful). I plan to pursue an MFA in either graphic design, printmaking, or creative writing.
8. Mary Oliver is my favorite poet
9. I believe odd numbers are far superior to even numbers

I love people and getting excited about things with them and hanging out with them and even crying with them. One day, I hope to find myself writing quirky and whimsical novels to put bread on the table. I additionally am a self-taught film photographer.
