I’ve been curious and creative for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I spent my time exploring ways to solve problems, express ideas, and understand the world. While I was a bit socially awkward, technology became a natural outlet for me. I loved pulling things apart to see how they worked and using computers to create, learn, and build. That fascination with ideas and systems shaped how I approach everything today.

I’ve never been afraid to go after what I want. Early in my career, I was at a dinner with the CEO of a beauty company I admired. When she asked me what I wanted to do, I told her, “I want to work for you.” One month later, I moved to LA and began working for her. That moment taught me the importance of confidence, authenticity, and trusting my instincts.

What makes me unique is my ability to connect ideas, see patterns, and bring clarity to challenges. I care deeply about people and find joy in mentoring, collaborating, and empowering others to succeed. I’m at my best when I’m solving problems, guiding teams, and creating solutions that feel both impactful and thoughtful.

For me, design is about more than aesthetics. It’s about understanding people, finding the essence of what they need, and turning that into something meaningful. My journey has been defined by curiosity, empathy, and an unwavering drive to make things better. I’m still as passionate about creating and learning as I was when I started, and I’m always excited to see what comes next.

A recent colleague described me:

“You know, I look up to you in a lot of ways. I don’t know if I’ve told you that before. You’re deeply talented and you have this energy, this aura that is unfuckwithable – and this charm and this, I don’t know, this like really gentle, calm presence. And I respect the shit out of you."
