When I’m not delving into new ways to make digital experiences more human, you’ll find me traveling the world, exploring the newest survival-crafting game, or throwing a disc on the nearest course. I’m endlessly curious about how things work—whether it's the precision behind an exceptional product or the intricacies of game mechanics—and that drive for understanding fuels everything I create.

Designing Life and Craft

My approach to design is rooted in systems thinking, always seeking ways to simplify the complex without losing the essence of the experience. From shaping thoughtful, engaging products to leveraging cutting-edge tools and features in Figma, I’m constantly pushing myself to learn and grow with new technologies. In collaborative environments, I thrive on merging creativity with strategy to craft designs that are innovative, efficient, and purposeful.

Whether I’m perfecting a design system in Figma or experimenting with the latest software, my focus is always on creating solutions that truly resonate and make a lasting impact—much like the experiences I chase in my personal life.
