We’ve been doing a lot of camping and hiking the past year, finding it pretty great therapy from a week looking at screens. I’ve been shooting photos on those hikes, and while I haven’t made time to edit many of them, I have been working on a little side project, going by the name of Cold Coast:

I’ve been wanting to make some physical things, and also do some more visual stuff to balance all the heavy UX I do in my day job. I’ve got six designs now, and I even threw together a basic Etsy shop. Certainly a work in progress, I need to make time to do some better product photography, but between Etsy and art sales, I’ve paid for the ink and paper I bought so far which is pretty cool!
