About
My heart is at the intersection of Brand and Product. I have a deep affinity for a wide range of design and art. I pursue design because of its vast potential to help people, and for its integration of beauty and utility. I’m keen on exploring human-centered, interactive, and engaging design. I’m driven by curiosity, mixing analog and digital media to develop novel visual expressions.
