BEYOND WORK

I explore videography, film photography, and painting as a way to better understand light, composition, and mood, all of which influence how I design. Backpacking helps me unplug and reconnect with nature, shaping my appreciation for simplicity, proportion, and honest materials. Traveling and experiencing architecture across different places and time periods has influenced how I think about timeless design and the value of spaces that feel rooted rather than trend-driven. Outside of design, I love hosting intimate dinner parties and spending time with my pug, Winston, both of which quietly guide how I think about comfort, connection, and home.
