BEYOND WORK

Traveling is one of my favorite ways to learn about people. Exploring different cultures, experiencing architecture across places and time periods, and hearing the stories of those I meet continually shape the way I see the world and reinforce my belief that the best design begins with understanding the people it is meant for. I also love videography, film photography, and sketching, which inspire the way I think about light, composition, and atmosphere. Outside of design, I enjoy backpacking, hosting intimate dinner parties, and spending time with my pug, Winston.
