I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. Art was always my quiet place, a way of getting lost in something and making sense of things I didn’t always have words for.

So I knew early on that whatever I did, it had to be creative. I just wasn’t sure what that looked like yet. I tried a little bit of everything through school and college before stumbling into UI/UX during a short college module. Something clicked.

I loved that it sat somewhere between creativity and structure. There was a messy problem at one end and something clear and usable at the other, and I got to figure out the path between them.

More than that, I liked that the work was ultimately about people: how they think, what they need, and how they experience the things we make.

6 years later, that’s still what keeps me interested. I design products during the day and make illustrations outside of it, but in both, I’m usually trying to understand something human.
