My friends would tell you I'm someone who brings levity to any situation while getting things done. They describe me as sarcastic yet reliable, ambitious yet approachable, and someone who's always ready for both the next challenge and the next snack break.

What makes me different? While many designers focus on either the technical or the human side, I thrive in the intersection.

Though I'll never claim natural crafting abilities, I'm drawn to hands-on challenges in my free time. There's something deeply satisfying about identifying problems, analyzing root causes, and building practical solutions – the same problem-solving mindset that drives my design philosophy.

When I'm not crafting digital experiences, you'll find me in the mountains with my dog, on my motorcycle exploring winding roads, or or drawn to any body of water I can find. My apartment is basically a jungle – though it's more survival of the fittest than green thumb paradise. The plants that make it are the real MVPs. And whether I'm strumming guitar or singing along to whatever's playing, music is always part of my day. Balance matters, and these moments fuel my creativity.
