About me

I live on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, a short drive from a black sand beach I have walked since I was small. My grandmother kept a jar of shells on her windowsill, and I took over the jar.

I only pick up empty shells, and only a few. I learn what each one is, write it in my notebook and sort it on an old enamel tray by shape.

I post short videos of my walks and my sorting, and I make simple cards and pages to help other collectors name what they find.
