About Me

Hi, I'm Sherrianne! 

Here's a little bit about me ... 

I love Autumn 🍁 and my favourite colour is purple. I'm a Foodie and a Swiftie! 💖

For 17 years of my life, I lived in tropical Singapore. The next decade or so in Australia and currently, I'm living in the United Kingdom! In between those years, I have also had short stints living in Canada and Denmark. 

If I am knot crocheting, what are my other hobbies? 

I have a few other hobbies that are my creative outlets including watercolour painting, drawing and digital art. I enjoy making handmade things because they will always be one-of-a-kind and I generally enjoy having the freedom to customise things.

Aside from the above hobbies, I also enjoy travelling, trying new food places, playing board games, photography, reading, watching movies and binge-watching tv. 

So where do I find the time to keep up with my hobbies? Well, I usually try to spend a few hours after work in the evenings to focus on one of my hobbies whether it is crocheting or digital art or binge-watching tv or something else altogether. I also set aside time on the weekends for my hobbies.

I am also quite the nerd.

Professionally, I am a Computational Biologist in the field of Maternal and Newborn Health.

I enjoy data science and data visualisations. Interestingly, I've found that coding and crocheting have some overlaps. In coding, we have to learn a programming language and what the functions do in order to successfully write and/or run a script. In crocheting, we need to learn the various stitches and what the abbreviations mean in order to successfully read a pattern. For both, the script/pattern should be reproducible and generate the same results each time with minor deviations. Once you learn how to code, you can write new scripts to do different things. Once you learn how to read patterns, you can try out new patterns to create different things. There are also always so many fun projects one can do related to coding or crocheting. 

Finally, I want to share my favourite quote from my favourite book ... 

"Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete."
