the artist smiling with their notebook open

hi there!

I'm Chelsea, also known as CHASE WHALES.

I'm a technologist, maker, systems thinker, and collaborator. I believe art should do at least one of three things: bring joy, inspire people, and/or express human emotion.

here is a random fact about me:

I love hiking, backpacking, kayaking, climbing, trail running, and prettymuch anything that gets me outdoors.
