About Me
When I was younger, I dreamed of designing video games. I spent countless hours creating levels, models, and game concepts, modding the games I loved. I didn’t know what design was then, but I was already doing it, crafting experiences that were both engaging and believable. What started as a hobby became a career and a passion. Now, it's tough to go a day without critiquing or optimizing something. "If I were on that team, how would I improve it?" I love making things feel intentional, whether it's curating my own space, or plating a meal. Design isn’t just what I do, it’s how I see the world.
Oustide of work, I try to keep a variety of interests. Travel is the big one and pairs well with my love for photography. I enjoy doing everything from playing the latest video game to death, trying a new meal, enjoying a cozy movie, or just cruising with the windows down and music up. I try to keep an open mind to new experiences and am usually willing to try just about anything!
