Stef

Hi. my name is Stef.

I'm non-binary (they/them/theirs), and I'm an introverted homebody that likes to paint, read, write, draw, and craft. I'm a freelance architectural illustrator with a background in engineering and architecture, but art is my passion and I incorporate it into all of my projects.

I have a cat called Charlie. He's a medium haired tuxedo cat. He's a sweet and affectionate bundle of fluff. He's not a people person though, he's really very shy and will scurry away whenever people or other animals try to approach him. He can warm to others, it just takes a long time to earn his trust. He's very quiet, and loves to bask in a sunny spot, watching the birds outside the windows.

In terms of tidbits, I love gardening, and have something of a green thumb. Growing cacti and succulents, strawberry and tomato towers, some potato beds. Anything to do with a cottagecore lifestyle, I'm that person. I love antique shopping and thrifting. I love to restore or renovate old furniture and give them new life. Baking and cooking are a must. I like to bake fresh made bread and focaccia, and pickle vegetables, and make jams and marmalades. I have lots of hobbies as well, because I have ADHD and a touch of the 'tism. One of them being medieval festivals. I love going to them. The best one is Abbeystowe in Brisbane QLD. I go every year in July.

I'm looking for a space where I can create for my job (as i work from home), and where Charlie can relax as well. Lot's of natural light and flowing air, close to shops and transport, convenient location, and preferably a place with a yard or garden space.
