Designer | Educator | Illustrator | Builder

I'm a designer who took a seven-year detour into teaching and came out of it looking at design completely differently.

Before education, I worked as a graphic designer and art director. I learned to care deeply about typography, hierarchy, visual storytelling, and the tiny choices that determine whether an idea lands or disappears.

Teaching added another layer. Suddenly design wasn't just about getting someone's attention. I was watching, in real time, how people process information, where they get confused, what makes something click, and what happens when a tool asks too much of the person using it.

Now I work somewhere in the overlap of brand, product, UX, illustration, learning, and technology. I like messy problems, blank canvases, and projects where the answer isn't already obvious.

I'm especially happy when I can help figure out what something should be and then actually make it.
