about me

I'm a designer with a forager's heart. There's magic in wandering the forest with no guarantee of discovery, yet always finding something worthwhile. Mushroom hunting teaches me what great design requires:

  • patience to observe closely

  • curiosity to look beneath the surface

  • and joy in the pursuit itself πŸ’š

Architecture, a fusion of rationality and creativity, engineering and art, is the field where I've spent 7 years in school to hone my skills, laying a robust foundation for my career path that has branched into similar yet diverse directions:
