The Story So Far
Beginnings
I was born into a family of creatives. My dad owned and operated a photography business, my mom taught me to draw, and my grandma showed me how to sew my own clothes.
From an early age, I was drawn to making things and visual expression. Those early experiences shaped the way I move through the world today: creative, reflective, and always collecting ideas, stories, and inspiration.
Designing With Intention
Design drew me in because it combines creativity with purpose. I love the challenge of problem solving while crafting experiences that feel intuitive, immersive, and human-centered.
I began as a volunteer graphic designer for nonprofits before gradually transitioning into UX/UI design. Over time, my focus expanded beyond individual interfaces into systems, storytelling, and the broader experiences that surround them.
Falling In Love With Film Photography
Film photography has had the greatest influence on how I experience the world. I've found that photography is about staying present and truly connecting with my surroundings in order to capture the authentic feeling of the experience.
I often photograph landscapes and the places I explore because being in nature is where I feel most alive and inspired. I take photos to hold onto the feeling of seeing the sunrise light up a mountain range, watching a seal rolling in the sand beneath a rainbow, or noticing wildflowers dancing in the wind. My hope is that my work reminds people to step outside and deepen their connection to nature and themselves.
Photography continues to shape the way I approach all creative work, it has taught me to notice more and find beauty in the details that might otherwise go unseen.
Creating Balance
I believe thoughtful art and design have the power to make life more joyful, immersive, and connected. At the heart of my work is a desire to build bridges between seemingly opposite ideas, creating experiences that are both expressive and purposeful:
Artistry + Functionality
Analog + Digital
Nature + Human-Made
Personalization + Data
Creativity + Process
Emotion + Strategy
