The Story So Far
A journey through creativity and the mediums that have shaped the way I see the world.
Me, at 8 years old
01. Beginnings
I was born into a family of creatives. My dad owned and operated a photography business, my mom taught me to draw, and my grandma showed me how to sew my own clothes.
From an early age, I was drawn to making things and visual expression. Those early experiences shaped the way I move through the world today: creative, reflective, and always collecting ideas, stories, and inspiration.

02. Designing With Intention
Design drew me in because it combines creativity with purpose. I love the challenge of problem solving while crafting experiences that feel intuitive, immersive, and human-centered.
I began as a volunteer graphic designer for nonprofits before gradually transitioning into UX / UI design. Over time, my focus expanded beyond individual interfaces into systems, storytelling, and the broader experiences that surround them. That evolution continues through creative direction, where I connect strategy and narrative into experiences.
03. Falling In Love With Film
Immersing myself in film photography has truly changed the trajectory of my life and has had the greatest impact on the way in which I experience the world. Photography has led me to seek out new places, connect with amazingly talented people all over the world, and find magic in the little moments.
I often photograph outdoor landscapes and travel moments because exploring in nature is what truly sets my soul on fire. I take photos to hold on to that awe-inspiring feeling I get when seeing the sunrise light up a jagged mountain range, a seal roll around on the beach as a rainbow arches through the sky above, or when the wildflowers sway and vibrantly light up the trail. My hope is that my photography reminds people to get outside and deepen their connection to nature and themselves.
Photography continues to shape the way I approach all creative work. It has taught me to notice more and find beauty in the details that might otherwise go unseen.
04. Creating Balance
I approach life as an ongoing art project, where everyday choices become opportunities for expression, intention, and meaning. Whether I'm curating furniture for my home, piecing together an outfit, or crafting an itinerary to a new place, I see each decision as part of a larger composition.
I believe thoughtful art and design have the power to make life more joyful, immersive, and connected. An intricately carved doorknob, a hand-lettered sign, a thoughtfully arranged bouquet, these details shape how we experience the world. That perspective carries into everything I create.
I enjoy bridging the space between seemingly opposite concepts and creating balance between creative expression and practical impact.
