My 5 to 9
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me playing video games, traveling, or exploring local restaurants (feel free to ask for recommendations!). To balance my love of food, I channel my energy into weightlifting or singing karaoke, depending on the mood. These moments give me time away from the screen to recharge and spark fresh ideas that I bring back to my projects.

I was born and raised in a city called Vancouver. It’s not unusual for me to start my day hiking through a forest and end it watching the sunset over the ocean. The calm of the forest taught me to find beauty in the details and appreciate moments of stillness, while the ocean sparked my curiosity to explore new possibilities.

I’ve always been fascinated by human nature, how we think, interact, and create meaning in the world, so pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology at the University of British Columbia felt like a natural choice.
