aboutfine artist & designerfine artist & ui/ux designer  I am a walking contradiction of a realist raised on symbolism and trained in iconographic analysis, so sometimes I’d prefer to think that perhaps there is no meaning. Perhaps there is no need for one.

My approach to art-making isn’t necessarily about centering a body of work around fixed themes; rather, I view my practice as a catalyst that powers my endless pursuit of self-understanding. The process of creating art reveals diverse influences that shape the continual evolution of my identities, and above all else, it serves as a conduit for reflection and introspective learning. 

Meanwhile, I find immense satisfaction in my role as a designer who constantly seeks to better understand others. By practicing user empathy while conducting research and testing, I’m able to accurately address my users’ concerns and create products with in-depth knowledge of the personas I design for.  

My motivations stem from a fascination with the way art and design has managed to seamlessly coexist with everything around me. I am driven by my inclination towards creative problem solving to build disruptive products and experiences that can give a physical presence to an otherwise imaginary idea.
