How I Got Here

Childhood

Before it had a name.

I drew machines that didn’t exist and worlds nobody asked for. It was the only thing I never needed permission to be good at. People called it talent. I just liked how it felt.

Teenage Years

Why does this feel right

Paper turned into screens and I couldn’t stop asking why some things felt obvious to use and others didn’t. I had no idea design was a word for that. I just wanted to know who decides how things should feel.

College

Logic first. Then purpose.

I picked computer science. But every class pulled me closer to the why, not the how. Leading a design team on a real product changed something. Design stopped being a side interest. It became the lens I saw everything through.

Now

Now — Still Becoming

Less certain. More curious.

I read, I watch, I talk to people. Not to collect answers but to ask better questions. I’m not chasing attention or titles. I just want to keep building things that quietly make sense and be a little less wrong than I was yesterday.

Where I Have Worked

Experience

Five roles. Each one taught me something the last one couldn’t.

Product Designer

Black Banana

The studio had real results but nothing on screen proved it. I built the brand and website from zero. 25 clients in six months. Nearly half of them came back.

Think's That Stayed With Me

Interstellar

He left to give his daughter a future and got so lost building it that she learned to live without him. The universe handed him the receipt anyway. 23 minutes of video, 23 years of her life. She stopped waiting long before he stopped hoping.
