Born and raised in Los Angeles, California

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices when something feels really well-made.

That’s a big part of why I ended up in design. I love the mix of creativity and structure—the challenge of making something look great, feel right, and actually work. Whether I’m building layouts, working through brand systems, or designing for print and digital, I’m always chasing that balance between polish and purpose.

A lot of the way I see design comes from the things I love outside of it.

Cars have always pulled me in. I love the craftsmanship, the form, the tiny details, the personality—everything from a clean body line to the way something is put together. I could spend way too long looking at a car and appreciating the design decisions behind it.

Basketball is probably my first love. It’s always been a place where I can just be myself. There’s rhythm to it, flow to it, instinct to it—and honestly, I think some of that carries into the way I design too.

Photography made me pay attention in a different way. It taught me to notice moments, framing, light, and the feeling something can hold onto long after it’s over.

And hiking or fishing gives me a reset. Being outside, away from screens and noise, helps me slow down, clear my head, and come back with better perspective.

All of that finds its way into my work somehow. It keeps me curious, grounded, and always paying attention—which, for me, is where good design starts.
