Hi There! I'm Calee.
(I also answer to chimes.)
I’m a queer, nonbinary woman. I’m a designer, multimedia artist, educator, and aspiring bass player. I work and play in the fields I love most: art and design—the blurred line between those worlds is where I thrive. I’m passionate about design for good and social justice.
In my spare time I design surface patterns, make art and home goods, craft, listen to and play music, write, spend time outdoors, and make delicious food.
I'm a designer and multimedia artist.
I’m a professor of art and design, a graphic designer, and a multimedia artist. You can find me in the classroom covered in paint and/or immersed in code.
PS: I also design fabric and home goods.
I love making things.
I’m happiest when I’m making things, and most of the things I make end up on this blog.
You’ll find sewing, quilting, knitting, crochet, and other fun craft and DIY projects on my blog.
I'm a music nerd.
When I was little I wanted to be a rock star. Hell, I still kind of want to be a rock star!
I collect vinyl and cassette tapes. I’ve DJed at a radio station. I was in a band in college, and I still play around with my bass guitar in case there’s still hope to become the next Kim Gordon or Kim Deal.
Clearly I’m obsessed with music.
PS: Here’s where you realize I’m a 90s kid.
I love cooking and baking.
I love making food, which is great because I have food allergies so I end up making a lot of my own versions of classic dishes.
Cookies and ice creams are my specialty, but you’ll find lots of other recipes on this site.
PS: my site used to be called life+running! It’s been a journey.
