My collection of lived experiences, observations, stories, emotions, details, and color from the world around me inform the purpose behind my design decisions. I am motivated by user research and discovering pains that I can solve through my creativity. My heart aches for the tactile in an age of technology and I actively strive to craft a bridge between the two. I believe in the beauty of process and experimentation—opting to do everything by hand before jumping into a computer. Even in the most strenuous of situations, I am able to adapt, empathize, and express humility. I radiate the philosophy that good design makes time for curiosity, transparency, and risk taking. My favorite question is why.
