I strike the perfect balance between the details and the concept of a project, creating intentional and meaningful design while letting intuition and design principles guide my decisions. I focus on the human aspect of design and draw inspiration from culture and the human experience. I’m comfortable collaborating with other designers or leading whole projects on my own, and I value learning from the creative community around me. I see every project as an opportunity to connect and expand my capabilities as a designer. Driven by culture, I stay inspired by music, film and literature, taking inspiration from anywhere and everywhere and viewing the world though the lens of wonder and curiosity. I value the importance of entirely understanding both the brief, and the world in which the design operates, the cultural implications and community markers that require a good design to fix problems and answer questions in specific ways dependent on context.
