A designer is the sum of everything they pay attention to. Here are three of the things that quietly show up in my work.
Making art trained my eye for observation and my instinct for storytelling. It's where creativity becomes a discipline — noticing what's small, and finding the meaning in it.
Travel keeps me curious. Every place I visit reminds me that people move through the world in wildly different ways — through their context, culture, and history.
Tending to my own emotions taught me how much design shapes how people feel. Reflection and self-awareness are what let me design for real human emotions, not idealized users.
