Behind the Work

I’ve always been drawn to work that blends creativity with structure. Whether I’m building websites, designing visual systems, or working through accessibility challenges, I enjoy figuring out how to make things feel clearer, more usable, and more intentional without losing personality in the process.

A lot of that mindset comes from outside of design too. Music, rescue work, and hands-on creative projects have shaped the way I approach problem-solving, patience, and long-term thinking both professionally and personally.
