a little about me

I am a problem solver; who seeks to understand how designs shape from the reactions that occur when an issue presents itself. I am a collaborative person; who encourages a human-centered approach throughout the design process. I am a designer; who equally weighs the idea, functionality and aesthetics. 

​I believe in order to create a solution the design itself needs to evoke an emotion. The big picture having great user experience is the minimum - it's what's expected from any designer - but to see a profoundly transformative creation, leading with curiosity, lateral thinking, and an eagerness to discover the smaller elements that form the deeper meaning. This personal manifesto has guided my process in becoming a problem solver, collaborator and designer. 

"Design is a response to a specific problem. You are given a problem to solve, and then you let the problem itself tell you what your solution is."

- Chip Kidd, Designer
