About me

I've been always intrigued by how things work—whether it's a product, a system, or the way people move through their everyday lives. Design has become my way of asking questions, and making sense of complexity using critical and creative thinking. I'm excited by questions that don't have obvious answers and by work that can make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

One of the things I enjoy most about my work is that no two projects ask the same thing of me. Some have challenged me to design digital tools that make someone's work easier. Others have taught me the value of working closely with people whose strengths are different from my own.

Away from my desk, you'll probably find me sketching outdoors, trying a new art medium, reading, exploring a city on foot, or spending time in nature. Those moments of observing and wandering often shape the way I think just as much as any design process.
