hello, postcrosser! my name is hana. i'm 34 + live in new york city. i work as a product designer at an anime streaming service.

// some tidbits about me: //

my main hobby is riding my bike. i ride all year round, and love to do camping trips by bicycle. i'm currently saving up for a folding bike so i can bring it with me on a trip to france later this year.

i recently began experimenting with planted tanks, and i'm hoping to raise some cherry shrimp soon!

i love reading, especially sci-fi and fantasy.

i like to learn the etymologies of words, translate languages i don't speak, and hear about daily life in other countries.

my favorite foods are dumplings, of all form, from all cultures, everywhere. if i can put garlic or chili oil on it, i'm extra happy! eating is my favorite activity, actually.

i really like to see things that other people make by hand, as well as their handwriting. i'm obsessed with stationary supplies, stickers, and washi tape. i love color and mess.

// cards i would be extra happy to receive: //

- anything related to bicycles!!!!
- promotional cards from bars/restaurants/shops in your home country, because they give me a chance to see typography and design trends from that location.
- anything related to anime and manga, since i work in that field i show off those cards to my coworkers.
- i love campy cards and vintage/old cards.
