Accessibility advocate, web/graphic designer, educator, digital illustrator, art history nerd, and newbie potter. Mostly just a silly goose. 🤠🏳️‍🌈
Just an appreciation post for my compassionate, resilient, beautiful wife, Liz. When every day is full of bad news, she reminds me that good things are on the way. Just gotta keep fighting. 💜

Today was the first project critique in the design class I’m teaching this semester! It went so well and I’m thrilled. High energy, lots of good feedback, 100% participation.

Now we’re moving into our final Photoshop project: movie posters. My cat Moon Pie may or may not make an appearance. 🐱

hello new pottery friends 🫶

My name is Ashi! I’m an accessibility professional, designer, and interdisciplinary artist.

I started doing ceramics in 2023 and fell in love with it. I don’t think I’ve found my style yet, but my favorite thing is making sculptures out of wheel-thrown parts.

Made it through week 1 teaching my first college course! 🤠

It hasn’t been easy, but I’m enjoying it so much. Working with students reminds me of why I love #GraphicDesign: there are so many things you can accomplish and so many avenues to get there.

First day of teaching went great! Really looking forward to seeing what my students create this semester. 👩🏻‍💻

Sad stuff: Our Dutch rabbit, Louise, crossed the rainbow bridge 2 weeks ago. We’re grateful that she had a very long, healthy life, but it’s been hard.

Happy stuff: Our two dogs (read: Californian rabbit and tabby kitten) are quickly becoming best buds.

Can’t believe it’s been a year since my last #raku firing! This carved dish was my absolute favorite of the bunch. Hope to do this again one day soon. ❤️‍🔥

Ten years ago today, I was finishing up my first graphic design class as an undergrad at @ualittlerock.bsky.social. Next month, I’ll be returning to the university to teach that class myself. Oh, it’s good to be back!

My #SpotifyWrapped looks a little different this year since I’ve been moving to Apple Music, but @loscampesinos.bsky.social remains at the top. #LC4LYF! ❤️‍🔥

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.

I started a big ole #WebGovernance project at work this week! I also got photos of my kitten with a cowboy hat. (Not wearing it, but close.) 🤠
