Behind the Scenes

the sketch of a character

What is this?

This is the latest attempt at a character sketch of a freelance webdesigner, amateur artist, and full-time student. Labels are suffocating.

Who is this?

My name is Jen, and I’m just a girl on a search to define and pursue what she loves.

I’m based in Sydney, Australia.  I’ve been writing online for the better half of a decade1.  Now, I write to you as a typical university student minus the clubbing and drinking culture — instead, I prescribe to one of chocolatier and patisserie hopping.

What does she do?

I am a student of the world.  I love learning about and discovering new things.

I am drawn to the aesthetically pleasing and thought provoking.  So, I slave over law readings with a sprinkle of paintings and sculpture for a double degree in B Art Theory/B Law.

If a successful career weren’t so central to my aspirations, I would be in a studio dabbling with paint and pastels and charcoal on a canvas.  Or traipsing around town with a camera.  Or indulging in origami roses and washi.  But no, I’ve considered a career in creating things — I studied for a Bachelor of Design in Architecture for one year, but realized that one cannot put a price on creativity.  Career-wise, I enjoy the works of others more than creating my own.

I prefer the humanities over the sciences, but I am intrigued by medicine and the human body.
