Beyond design, I’m deeply involved in my community.
As an advocate for cycling, I’ve organized local rides and promoted cycling as a way to connect people. I volunteer regularly, from participating in Habitat for Humanity builds to contributing to my neighborhood association’s initiatives. I also mentor young designers by participating in local student portfolios reviews and providing feedback to help them grow.
I love to traverse cultures in search of inspiration.
Whether it's exploring museums, discovering local street art, or experiencing different architectural styles, I find that each place offers its own unique perspective that feeds my creative process. I’m constantly looking for new ideas, whether from a gallery in a big city or the craftsmanship of a small, hidden workshop. These experiences keep me energized and open to new possibilities in design.
I believe that
the best ideas come from collaboration and connection.
Attending design conferences, meetups, and client tradeshows is all about engaging with other designers, swapping ideas, and diving into conversations that push my creative boundaries. Whether we’re talking about new trends, sharing what’s inspiring us lately, or connecting over the latest innovations in the industry, those interactions keep me growing and evolving. Being part of the creative community, along with interacting at tradeshows, gives me fresh perspectives and new approaches, and it’s a big part of what drives my work forward.
