A Bit More About Me

Design, for me, is about making things clearer and more engaging. I work best with people who are passionate about their ideas and open to trying something different.

There's nothing better than taking something that feels complicated or flat and turning it into something that connects.

When I'm not designing, I'm usually vibe coding, reading a book, or hanging out with my dogs.
