CREATING SINCE THE 2000s
When I was a child, I liked to draw on the walls all over our
house. Instead of chiding me, my parents encouraged this habit
and that early freedom fostered my creativity.
At the age of 10, I discovered the power of the Magic Wand
in Adobe Photoshop, a newfound ability that sparked a deeper
interest in design and the rest is history.
Experimenting with new tools and reinventing design processes
is what I love most. It's the same curiosity that drove me
in my early years and it still shapes how I approach my work.
