Background

I’ve always had a fascination with the human form. As a child, I would enjoy sketching, drawing, and animating cartoons and portraits. These hobbies lead me to the fields of Graphic Design and Architecture. By the age of 7, I became fully immersed in the world of design, animation, and CGI curation. When I chose to study Architecture at Cornell University I learned to combine my interests for graphics and animation with my skills in analytics, marketing, community, and conceptualization. Then came my passion for UX/UI and Product Design.

Philosophy

My design philosophy mirrors my personal and moral philosophy: If there’s an opportunity to do what is right by or for another, it is to be done. In design, the quality of a digital experience and sound communication for the client comes first, no matter what.

Hobbies & Interests

I am the biggest Harry Potter fan you will ever meet. I have read the book seven times consecutively and have visited every Potter attraction around the world more times than I can say or I’d risk embarrassment. I love animating and sketching, writing and designing digital architecture. I use Minecraft as a big tool for digital architectural construction and Nintendo Flipnote to create animations. You can also find me outside riding my bike or running on an outdoor trail listening to Mac Miller.
