Welcome!

Design has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember.

In 6th grade, I was sketching skateparks in isometric view and collecting hand-drawn logos from my favorite car and skate brands. I still remember getting the original iPod on the day it launched—right alongside iTunes. Looking back, these moments weren’t just hobbies—they were early signs of my passion for design, systems, and visual storytelling.

I went on to study architecture, environmental and urban design, and the relationship between people and the built environment. My formal education gave me the tools, but it’s my curiosity that’s kept me exploring.

Professionally, I’ve worked in project management, technical manufacturing, product development, and business operations—bringing ideas from concept to execution with a designer’s mindset and a manager’s follow-through.

From my design manifesto, “Design for People,” these are my 16 principles for eternal design:

1. do no unnecessary harm

2. provide for community

3. create ripples

4. design for the now

5. take care in craft

6. do something

7. provide ultimate function

8. ask for help (collaborate)

9. passive design is best

10. accept change

11. be an observer

12. remain teachable

13. progress, not perfection

14. fuck up, then fuck up again

15. think, think, think

16. design for people
