About me:
I’m a 32-year-old male (he/him), graphic designer and trained visual artist. I work as a care aid for people with disabilities and strive to offer others a high quality of life. I approach life with empathy and care for those around me.
I aim for a balance of authentic expression, grounded spirituality, and personal growth. I enjoy music, meditation, dance, painting, and drawing at home. I’m active in my community, but also a homebody who values quiet time and study. I've traveled extensively and love exploring the West Coast.
I cook often and enjoy occasional shared meals. I eat meat and aim for a healthy, balanced diet—with treats, of course.
One of my biggest priorities is a harmonious home atmosphere, so I'm looking for someone who feels like a good long-term fit. Ideally, we can co-create a grounded, welcoming space together.
-----------------------------------------
About you:

Doesn’t mind a little clutter, but keeps shared spaces clean within a reasonable time
Is able to navigate their mental health reasonably, and reach out for support as need arises to their support network to best navigate mental health.
