About

Rogan, a white masc-presenting person with a mustache/beard combo, is standing with their arms crossed and smiling slightly. They’re in front of out-of-focus bookshelves that are full with books and has a few art pieces placed here and there. They’re wearing a white t-shirt and a very dark blue button shirt that has patterns of white stars and the golden Sun.

Tactile impression: Sturdy and exuberant artist fingers always ready to discuss unexpected knowledge. Crisp movements join encompassing hugs, bringing the smell of a fresh ocean breeze and a steady warmth.

I’m a homegrown PNW person, with a deep love for reading, exploring the city and nature, and creating – whatever form that may take: art, videos, acting, improv, telling stories, and more.

For many years, I’ve worked as a Deaf interpreter in American Sign Language and protactile, mostly working with the DeafBlind community. I also do some advocacy work through my social media and YouTube channel, where I might talk about what I’ve been reading, ASL and linguistics as a hobbyist, the experience of being queer and/or Deaf, TTRPGs, among whatever else interests me.

I freelance not only as an interpreter, but as a speaker on various topics, a consultant for disability and sign language, and a performer on the stage and in the TTRPG sphere. I enjoy experiencing many of the things life has to offer us!
