I believe design is most powerful in the small moments — the interactions people barely notice but always feel.

My work is driven by a simple obsession: making everyday life easier to navigate and more human while doing it.

Outside of screens, I work with my hands. I do silversmithing and have a weakness for any artist's studio — I'll always walk in.

I think a lot about craft and about the kind of beauty that comes from things made slowly and with intention.

When I'm not in my studio, you can find me training, reading or walking through the countryside with my dog Linguini.
