A little bit about me

My love for design began at a young age, creating layouts and learning front-end coding for Neopets and MySpace. Since then, my passion for design has grown to encompass a wide range of creative disciplines. I've held a variety of titles: Design Editor, Webmaster, Photo Editor, Photographer. I have studied fine art, film and television, photography, architecture, graphic design, and interaction design. I've also worked as a lighting professional in the film industry since 2017 - check out my IMDb here! As you can see, I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades.

What remains constant across all mediums is that I am both highly analytical and deeply imaginative, using these qualities to identify and solve problems through elegant design solutions. My deep sense of curiosity drives me to continue learning about the world around us, and to continue learning new skills and software.

When I'm not designing, you’ll find me immersed in a cozy video game, an epic fantasy [romance] novel, or playing a druid in my current Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The quickest way to my heart is with an interesting podcast recommendation.
