“Live your truth. Express your authenticity. Do your thing. Change the world." - Steve Jobs

When I'm not designing, I like to keep things interesting!

I write research papers to nerd out on design, share my knowledge with awesome students at design schools through guest lectures and juries (super fun!), and devour books to keep my brain buzzing.

To pay it forward, I also do guest talks and workshops – gotta share those design vibes and learn new stuff from others, you know? And to unwind, I love to grab my paintbrush and unleash my inner artist.

Here are few glimpses of what I do outside of work…
