Who am I?

Lead designer and multi-disciplinary artist with a passion for innovation, simplicity, and clear visual communication. I thrive on creating, whether it’s designing digital experiences, writing music, or snapping photos. Lover for minimalism and maximalism, high level strategic thinker, and detailed pixel pusher. Outside of work, you’ll find me adventuring with my wife and daughter, working on motorcycles, or hanging with my dog.
