I make things

MY Story

Hi, I’m BEE. I make things.

Since I was a padawan, I’ve always loved making things—painting, drawing, sculpting, building, writing, and taking photos. Growing up, I was the “art kid” in school, the marching band geek (that’s me on the right!) who loved math and science. As a military brat who moved around entirely too much, with seven different schools under my belt, I was always the new kid.

In the late 90s, I began working as a technical support technician for an ISP, eventually working my way up to managing both the residential and commercial support departments. Back then, I taught myself how to code and even developed a ticketing database for the company to track support calls.

Over the years, I’ve expanded my skill set to include web design, graphic design, marketing, photography, social media, and branding—working and collaborating with a wide range of companies and clients across all sorts of different industries. As a natural problem-solver, my love for both technology and creativity has allowed me to evolve my craft while always staying curious and adaptable.

I’m a super nerdy lady who finds joy in a variety of creative and intellectual pursuits. As an avid reader and writer, I’m also deeply passionate about gaming, anime, animation, and comics. My love for games spans video, board, and card—with a particular fondness for the former. I play all sorts of different genres but mostly enjoy RPGs, adventure, puzzle, strategy, and visual novels. The fantastical worlds I explore in games and books often serve as inspiration for the designs I produce and products I create.

In my free time, I enjoy watching shows like Critical Role, Dimension 20 / Dropout, Korean Dramas, and new anime and animations. I love re-watching The Office, Princess Bride, and The Fifth Element. I’m enthusiastic about learning new technologies and AI, and I’m always eager for a hiking adventure—especially when the beach is involved!

I love painting, woodworking, and crafting, often incorporating driftwood, sea glass, and other natural elements that I find on my hikes into my pieces. I’m passionate about cooking and experimenting with new dishes and spices—buying old recipe cards from thrift stores and garage sales makes me entirely too happy.

Currently, I’m working on several writing projects, including a series of children’s books that focus on neurodiversity topics and a magical five-book series for young adults that I’m incredibly excited about.

I see creativity as a powerful tool for expression, connection, and change. My love for gaming, storytelling, and crafting runs deep.

I create with the hope of inspiring exploration and igniting imagination.

Life is short—enjoy the ride while you can.

geek culture

Celebrate
& Discover

For me, geek culture is all about the freedom to love what you love—no judgment, no gatekeeping, just good vibes.

Whether you’ve been rolling dice since the early days of tabletop, or you’re new to the fandom scene, you’re in the right place.

Here, it’s not about how much you know or how long you’ve been a fan. It’s about celebrating your passions, discovering new ones, and just having fun.

Ahead, warp factor one, Mr Sulu.

INSPIRATION

Growing up in the 80s

Growing up as a nerd in the 80s and 90s was magical. I found comfort and inspiration in the fantastical worlds that were plentiful in those days.

My favorite childhood toy was the original Alphie, an educational robot with fancy cards that slid in his belly. I remember playing Pitfall and MoonPatrol on Atari and receiving a Nintendo for Christmas in ’86. I hung out with Punky Brewster, LeVar Burton, Bill Nye, and Carmen Sandiego, all of whom fueled my love for curiosity, learning, and imagination. 80s cartoons slapped; I still catch myself saying “By the power of Grayskull”, “Go-go Gadget Arms”, and “Snarf”.

From movies like Short Circuit, Labyrinth, The NeverEnding Story, and Willow to iconic franchises like Star Wars and Back to the Future, I’ve always been drawn to stories that spark the imagination and encourage us to explore new possibilities.

Though often lost in fantastical worlds, I was just as captivated by the natural one. Growing up, I was fascinated by the creatures around me. I’d hop on my bike and get lost in the local woods for hours, exploring the outdoors and marveling at how nature was full of its own kind of magic. Those early experiences of curiosity and discovery still fuel my creative process today, reminding me that both the fictional worlds we love and the real one we live in are worth celebrating and protecting.

My goal is to bring those same sparks of imagination, excitement, and curiosity into your life through unique content and one-of-a-kind creations.

I aim to inspire positive change for environmental, animal, and social issues alike.
