DESIGN //
Just as the environment shapes our lives, design shapes our environment.
Naturally, our environment is designed to accommodate us. Therefore, design should be created to act like nature and its sub-conscious comfort. Design can inspire how one ventures through their environment in a healthy, playful, sophisticated, productive, or simply relaxing manner.
GOALS //
As a designer, my hope is to reach out to others through my design and inspire through creativity and simple thought. I invite you to open your eyes to your surrounding environment, whether it be indoors or outdoors, and explore the ingenuity of design effects.
