As a designer, I strive to integrate logic, structure, and integrity in all endeavors.
Aa a creative, I seek to explore worldly & multi-disciplinary influences into fresh concepts.
As a contrarian, I aim to bring positive deviance and a bit of chaos into systematic approaches to ensure vigor and originality. And as a humanist, I aspire to align the incentives fundamental to every being and every venture that may come our way.
