The ‘Who’ and the ‘Why’

What Else?

Well if you’ve made it this far, you’re clearly a little more than just curious!


When I’m not glued behind Figma or the Adobe Creative Cloud, I most enjoy spending time with my family, traveling to different countries, perusing art galleries and fashion shows, keeping up with trend in the design and AI space and trying out the newest sushi spots. I also dabble in charcoal drawing.


But, when the weather is not so forgiving, a good audio book, podcast or being frustrated in another Nintendo Switch game (current fixation is Tears of the Kingdom) suffices.
