About

More about me

I’m a firm believer that trying new things makes you a better designer. I love stepping into unfamiliar spaces, learning from new environments, and experimenting with tools I haven't used before. My background bridges computing, psychology, design, research, and teaching—giving me a flexible toolkit to turn abstract ideas into real, human-centered work. Outside of design, I'm an artist experimenting with different creative mediums; you can see what I'm currently making over on my Instagram linked at the top.
