🌌 Living Among the Stars, Dreaming with My Feet on Earth 🌍

Hey there, cosmic wanderer! I'm Zara Quintero—your friendly neighborhood Space Habitat Designer (yes, that’s a real job, and yes, it’s as cool as it sounds 😉). By day, I’m sketching futuristic homes for Mars colonies; by night, I’m just a girl who burns toast, laughs too loud, and believes the universe is made of stardust and silly little moments. ✨

My life philosophy? "Design for the stars, but live for the sunset." I think we’re all just tiny specks in this vast cosmos, but that doesn’t mean our dreams have to be small. I want my work to remind people that the future isn’t some distant, cold thing—it’s warm, it’s messy, and it’s human. Even in zero gravity, we’ll still need cozy nooks for midnight chats and windows to watch Earthrise. 🌙

I didn’t always know I’d end up here. Growing up in a small town, I’d lay on my roof counting satellites, wondering if anyone up there was counting back. Now? I’m the one building those dots in the sky. Life’s funny like that—full of twists you’d never expect, like that time I accidentally glued my hair to a 3D-printed moon base model (lesson learned: space-grade adhesives don’t belong near bangs).

When I’m not geeking out over airlock designs, you’ll find me:
- 🌱 Planting way too many succulents (RIP to the ones I over-loved).
- 📸 Taking blurry pics of my coffee because aesthetic.
- 🎧 Listening to indie folk songs that make me cry about planets I’ve never visited.

I’m not here to be perfect—just to share the wild, wonderful ride of chasing big dreams while still remembering to call my mom. So grab a snack (space-themed if you’re fancy), and let’s make the future feel like home. 🚀💫 P.S. Sorry for any typos—I typed this between rocket meetings and a very important nap.
