Hey, I’m Rhea.

I’m a web designer/developer by day, Duolingo commitment-phobe by night, and dabbler of many arts and crafts by weekend.

I am also a:

• mum of two very creative kids
• below average boulderer
• average chess player
• above average Wheel of Fortune solver
• lover of airplane food
• hater of airplane bathrooms
• collector of sea glass

Turning lyrics into drawings is one of my weekend passion projects.

I like to think that songwriters are the modern philosophers of our time. Some of the verses I’ve collected have floored me on first listening, others have only revealed their meaning to me (a commentary on the joys, sorrows and frailties of life, love, death)  after a long walk or roadtrip. Some I’ve saved simply because of their creative wordplay.

I like to think that there is beauty and poetry in most things, and value creativity over consumption.

The term ‘common fate’ is borrowed from user interface design and describes how, when individual objects move together, they appear as one to the human eye. Like bees in formation, or a vortex of fish.

I like that the term can also describe this amazingly absurd human experience we all share called life. Because despite existing in this hyper-individualistic, often shallow, modern society, we are all profoundly and cosmically interconnected, we have a collective destiny rooted in impermanence; a common fate.
