I love creating things, making them look pretty, figuring them out, and exploring ideas. I'm naturally curious and enjoy learning, experimenting, and trying new things. That curiosity is what draws me to working across gaming UI, product design, and graphic design, giving me different ways to bring ideas to life and explore what they can become.
I enjoy taking an idea and experimenting with different approaches, and going through iterations until everything feels just right. I'm not particularly attached to rigid creative processes. I prefer working freely, following ideas as they develop, and figuring things out along the way.
I also believe in the value of human creativity and craftsmanship. I prefer doing things myself, keeping AI use to a minimum, if not avoiding it altogether. There is great reward in making something with your own hands, figuring it out, and enjoying the process along the way.
Outside of design, I'm really into music and gaming. I play eight musical instruments, sing, and am currently working my way towards ten. I've also spent over 20,000 hours gaming over the years. I'm quite drawn to games that make you think, plan, optimize, and occasionally question your entire approach, like Factorio (:
