me.

my journey

began as a kid dreaming of doctoring

I thought I knew exactly how my life would play out: grow up, become a doctor, and help a lot of people.

until global issues caught my eye.

Challenges such as global warming prompt consideration of ways to reward society-beneficial actions in individuals for resolution.

i thought software was the answer

Seeing software's unparalleled reach showed me it was the key to making the large scale change I was looking for.

but it ended up being design all along ^^

As designers, we learn to reframe problems - even abstract, overwhelming concepts like prosocial change.

travel

new experiences and perspectives

exploring a new place, conversing with locals, and seeing the daily mundane.

why design?

for me, life has always been about people.

hearing their stories and experiences, growing with them.

design is exactly that: about people.

by people, for people.

paradigms for design life

play

not being afraid to explore

simplify

problems, priorities, decisions

art

intentions

as much as art is about expressing myself, it is also how much of that is coming across to my viewers.

connection and sharing

for me, art has always been something to share. whether it's giving the art to someone, or talking with a friend about a recent piece, art is a point of connection.
