About

Initially pursuing art, nearly six years ago, I shifted my focus towards a degree in interaction design. Drawn in by a love for problem-solving, I became fascinated by the myriad ways that design can be utilized to improve lives. From refining small, everyday experiences to catalyzing societal change, I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of.

My design philosophy centers around collaboration, inclusivity, and intentionality. I believe that good design is about solving the right problem, and to solve the right problem requires empathy, curiosity, and honesty.

My background in various art and design disciplines has taught me to be a perpetual student; therefore, I am always refining and improving my design process.
