![[me.jpg|415]] # hey there! I'm chris! i'm a [[community otaku]] living in tokyo (or at least, that's how i'm choosing to package myself up into a one-liner right now)! originally from australia, i've lived and studied in Japan since 2019, and now work as a community builder & project manager at [Impact HUB Tokyo](https://hubtokyo.com/en) – a cozy coworking space and community for entrepreneurs, freelancers, creatives, and other changemakers. there, i work on various b2b projects related to sustainability, circular economy, and social impact. this is a (public) slice of my (private) [[digital garden]] that you can meander through at your leisure. enjoy~ there is no single linear path through these notes. they are all in various stages of completion, but none of them are complete; this site is an ever-evolving organism messily comprised of topics i'm exploring, things i'm curating, and updates about what i'm doing. see [[the purpose of this site]] for more info. # some starting points - [[now]] is where i (infrequently) post broad-strokes updates about what i'm up to. - [[writing]] includes a directory of bite-sized thoughts i'm chewing on, and a link to my substack if you'd like to read my more fully-baked takes on things. I'm still finding my voice and discovering what tugs at my aliveness to write about. my current topics of interest are at the intersection of community building, friendship, meaning-making, and social tech. - [[curations]] is a list of lists! for certain topics, i love collecting and compiling lil strands of knowledge from all over the interwebs and IRLwebs – for my own reference, and also to share with others. i also love learning what kinds of lists other people keep; do share with me when we next chat if you have any (i'm almost certain you do)!
