Biography
Though I started as an artist, I created this site to express a breadth of projects that has led me into a world of illustration, product, and UX design. I hope that this will one day showcase everything I've learned about compassionate and pragmatic design. In the meantime, it's a taste of some projects that opened me up to a world of creatives that love serving core human values.
