Hey, I’m Ethan. I’m a writer and creative based in LA. I recently took a few months off to learn practical skills like sewing, welding, ceramics, and gardening. Now that I’m recharged and #chill as ever, I’m available for freelance and contract work.

A Tropical Entropy / Nick León
The Most Dear and The Future / ear
Goodbyehouse / snuggle
