I’m not sure if many people know this about me, but I’m a huge paper/design/typography nerd. I don’t know how quite to define this area that makes my heart beat a little faster but perhaps I can describe it this way:

I love great design.
I love photography.
I love composition. And white space. And lines.

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
