Thanks for checking out my work, here's what I'm all about:

Somewhere in the intersection of fashion, retail, hospitality, sustainability, art, architecture, and emerging technology.

For me, "bring on the design challenge" means leaning into complexity and interconnectedness in our shared human experience of the world - both physical and digital. I like to untangle problems, identify patterns, and find clarity in the noise. Ultimately, I'm about shaping a more deliberate, meaningful future for how we live, connect, and interact.

Have an idea for an engagement, a project you'd like a second set of eyes on, or just want to connect? I'd love to hear about it.

Research insights

How I approach a design challenge

I

Don't Assume Anything

This is often how underlying problems continue to manifest. Spell everything out, even the obvious.

II

Ask "dumb" questions

"Why?" is a very powerful tool for uncovering root causes.

III

Simplify!

Complexity is the enemy of usability. Strive for clarity in every interaction.

IV

Build Quick and Get Feedback Often

Even a lo-fi sketch can illustrate a concept better than verbal descriptions.
