About me

I’m originally from Los Angeles, but was raised in Marin County, California. I come from a family of architects, designers, engineers, writers and educators, who have inspired in me the value of design and curiosity. I’m interested in all aspects of design composition: design of a photographic image, design of physical objects, design of a piece of music or score.

I enjoy delving deeply into an idea or concept in order to implement my design. I've learned the value of developing and exploring a big idea by focusing on the smaller details, researching and fully immersing myself in a project to realize my concept.

During high school I hand-built the acoustic guitar pictured left - I didn’t have a large amount of skill in woodworking so I researched the process and techniques luthiers use in their craft and implemented my research into the project.

The website you are viewing is also a hand-built effort that started with research and then the application of the information I gleaned into a design project. I had no experience with web design or coding prior to determining to design and implement my site. Please excuse any imperfections! It's an ongoing project.
