About me
I'm drawn to building things that are clear, thoughtful, and genuinely useful. I enjoy the process of taking an idea, understanding the people it's for, and shaping it into something that feels intuitive to use.
Outside of data and design, I love to travel and document the moments that shape how I see the world. I'm always experimenting with new crafts, from tactile ones like crocheting to digital projects on Procreate. If I'm not making something, I'm probably just catching up on a favorite series.
