What I do
Designing is my full-time job — but I don't mean that in a work way. I just think in visuals. Always.
Outside of that — I crochet, sculpt, sketch, cook, travel, watch films that mean something. I explore cafes like some people explore galleries. I journal things I find interesting.
I never really see things the way they are. There's always another angle running in my head. Whether that's useful or exhausting depends on who you ask.
How I think
Everything around us is design. We just don't always see it.
Brown, red, black soil — and somehow it produces flowers in every colour imaginable, fruits that are sweet and sour and tangy all at once. No technology. No brief. Just nature doing the impossible quietly.
That contrast stays with me. We have every tool imaginable and we're still figuring out creativity. And yet, a plant with no resources is just out there making something extraordinary.
That's the thinking I bring to my work — looking at what's already there, finding what nobody noticed, and building something from it that lasts.
