“There are certain things I've always been drawn to, long before I knew they had names.

Color. Pattern. Objects. Rooms. The way things are arranged. The details most people pass without noticing.”

One of my earliest memories begins in the apartment where I grew up—a home my parents bought before I was born and, years later, one I unexpectedly returned to as an adult. Looking back at photographs now, I find myself studying the same details I was unknowingly absorbing as a child: the red kitchen cabinets, black-and-white tile, bold contrasts, and a bright red-and-blue pacifier that rarely left my mouth.

I've often wondered if that's where my love of color began.

Making was simply part of everyday life. My grandmother was a seamstress, and my mother made many of her own clothes. Fashion wasn't reserved for special occasions—it was a form of expression. She dressed me boldly because I was a bold little person: endlessly curious, happiest tagging along, content to spend hours inventing games, observing people, and finding wonder in ordinary places.

Looking back, I think I learned something important during those quiet moments.

I learned to look.

When I was six or seven, I remember standing in department stores studying the graphics on children's T-shirts, mentally rearranging layouts and deciding what I would have changed. I had no idea graphic design was a profession. I simply knew that images could be stronger, more balanced, more beautiful.

That instinct never left.

Over time it found different forms—painting, collage, sculpture, decorating, photography, collecting, arranging, and eventually graphic design. Studying design gave me a language for instincts I'd already been practicing for years. It taught me systems, typography, production, and digital craft, while my background in visual art continued to shape how I approached every project.

For a long time I introduced myself simply as a graphic designer.

Today, that description feels too small.

I'm interested in building a creative practice where art and design aren't separate disciplines but part of the same conversation. Surface pattern, print, product, photography, digital media, and material exploration all begin in the same place—with curiosity, observation, and making.

Today my focus is on developing original collections for licensing and collaboration, building visual worlds through research, mood boards, drawing, and pattern design. I'm interested not only in the finished artwork, but in the thinking that leads to it—the quiet process of gathering references, noticing relationships, experimenting with color, and allowing an idea to grow into a cohesive collection.

The work you'll find here reflects that ongoing practice. Some projects are commercial. Others are personal. Together they tell the story of someone who has always been fascinated by how thoughtful design can shape the way we see and experience the world.

I'm still following the same instinct I had as a child.

Only now I know what to do with it.
