From Sock Drawers to Design

At eight years old, I thought every kid organized their sock drawer by color and use. Or that it was normal to spend hours splicing NES cables, extending cords, and rigging up ways to swap cartridges from the couch. I even hacked together a homemade crossbow from a wire hanger, clothespin, and bamboo skewers—though, unfortunately, that one did shoot a friend in the eye.
From as early as I can remember, I've been driven to simplify experiences and make things more enjoyable to use. That desire and drive is what led me to design..
My career has spanned multiple industries and roles, giving me a diverse skill set and the confidence to take on just about any challenge. I'm always learning and pushing forward—growing as a designer, creative, leader, thinker, and mentor.
