Every story is part of a larger narrative. Likewise, no system operates in isolation; everything is interconnected, forming a complex labyrinth within a greater whole. I learned to navigate this intricate space through the Transdisciplinary Design program at Parsons School of Design in NYC.
I think in visuals but follow a strategic praxis. I tell stories through my work that I believe deserve to be told, irrespective of their scope. My approach is to be agile yet unwavering in purpose to create better-informed and relevant designs. Often, slowing down is the only way to speed things up. Rather than supporting abrupt tectonic shifts by working in a trice, my aim is to develop a reflective practice and work towards facilitating transitions that bring about paradigm shifts, one pixel at a time.
If you do not find me at my desk, I could be trekking somewhere, doodling in my sketchbook, singing to myself, capturing mundane moments, or petting a cat in the corner.
