About Me
From a young age, I found magic in the details—woven through mythology, film, and the craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts movement. Raised by a healer, a cryptology enthusiast, and a fierce advocate, I see design as where data and storytelling meet. Whatever the medium, I work with intentionality, crafting meaning into every detail. A lifelong learner, I'm fueled by curiosity, 99% Invisible, and making my friends laugh. Inspired by Vox's narratives, Sagmeister's boldness, Eliasson's immersive art, and Will Guidara's radical hospitality, I aim to create experiences where people feel seen, valued, and inspired.
