about

my name is valerie (that’s me circa…uh…1985?) and i live in brooklyn with my boyfriend ian (a fellow maker and an amazing painter) and our (yes ian, *our*) dog geoffrey. i like to make things, mostly things to wear, and i’m trying very hard to make things for a living because well, you know, working for the man is absolutely the worst. and why not do what you love? life is too darn short to waste it away unhappy, right?

i also like to cook (and eat!) and take photos and naps. i would say i like to ride my bike too, but i’m still working up the courage to do so around here regularly. city biking might not be my thing…cities might not be my thing…but i’m trying both!

oh. and i like to ramble on and on about nonsense.

by all means feel free to ask me questions or comment or just say hi or whatever.

    Hi Valerie,

    I saw your post about Hello Health and I wanted to introduce you to ZocDoc (www.zocdoc.com).

    ZocDoc is a free service that helps patients find a doctor near them, sort by those that accept their insurance, read actual patient feedback and book an appointment (even same day, night and weekend appointments) instantly online. We’re all about making healthcare simpler for patients.

    We’re actually partnering with Hello Health so that HH docs can refer patients to other specialties through ZocDoc. See our post on it here:

    We’re currently serve Manhattan and Brooklyn, but we’re expanding to new areas quickly. Anyway, just wanted to let you know about us and if you like us, please help us spread the word!

    Thanks,
    Trevor
