Beyond theWork
Beyond theWork
My love for design started in third grade when I discovered Photoshop—I was hooked immediately. That early curiosity led to a career that's touched everything from UX and design systems to photography, 3D modeling, and illustration.
Outside of work, you'll find me riding my motorcycle on winding roads outside the city, playing guitar, or spending time with my dog, Hank. I'm also the person who takes things apart to understand how they work—whether it's troubleshooting the latest tech or diving into emerging technologies.
At my core, I'm driven by curiosity and a love for making things work better, whether that's a design system serving thousands of developers or figuring out why my motorcycle won't start.
