Maybe we know each other. Maybe we’re friends. Or maybe you’re just passing through. Either way, I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a cat mom, a low-key explorer, and a lifelong nerd with a computer science background. I work at Amazon Web Services in Seattle, Washington. 

I feel lucky to call the Pacific Northwest home and hope to enjoy my life here for as long as I can.

When I’m not working, I love exploring new places, spending time with the people and pets I love, and watching cat videos — probably more than I should.

Paraaki is my visual diary: a creative space where I collect the little moments I’m grateful for and the memories I’m building with my love, JJ. I want to capture this season of life so we can look back on it someday.

I’m thankful that I get to experience this beautiful life with my cat, Leo — yes, my cat comes first — and JJ by my side. It’s a life filled with ups and downs, but also love, laughter, adventures, and moments I want to hold onto forever.

This space is mostly just for fun and for me, but I hope it brings you a little joy or inspiration along the way.

Thanks for stopping by.
