Enthusiastic. Enigmatic. Witty. That's me.
I've made a life out of thinking (sometimes a bit too hard) about how people come together and connect in the physical and digital worlds around them.
Summarizing myself through things I've heard, read, felt and obviously thought too much about, would look a bit like...
"Don't blink, or you'll miss me"
- DOTA 2, 2020
I ❤️ Video Games
“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
- The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath by Sylvia Plath
Look at this gem, it's long, but it's hella important.
I aspire to create a world where everyone feels heard, is inspired, and feels represented by the worlds around them.
As a designer, my vibe is being research driven and scrappy because the best type of design is immersed in the culture (down to the smallest human) and isn't afraid to get a bit dirty.
Some good books to read:
Start with Why - by Simon Sinek.
Unthink - by Chris Paley.
The Design of Everyday Things - by Don Norman.
A Designer's Art - by Paul Rand.
Thinking with Type — by Ellen Lupton.
"Death is not the greatest loss in life, the greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. Never surrender."
- Fearless by Tupac.
Music got no language, still it can move anyone — enough said. This is the current soundtrack to my zen.
"You're the big brother now"
- Dad, Dec 1998
Being the eldest of 3 siblings in a joined family taught me discipline, leadership and all that jazz, but it most importantly taught me the importance of listening, playfulness, and how not to take myself too seriously.
"...Meeting Them Head-On, Charging Into 'Em Like A Bull - That's How We Grow As People"
- Rick and Morty
You're never too old to watch cartoons, no matter what they tell ya! I have been inspired countless times by the stories, the visual styles, the problem solving, the character development, and the (sometimes) utter chaos that goes on in cartoons.
What I've been binging lately
Rick and Morty
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Family Guy
"Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change"
- Brené Brown
The greatest part about being a small townie is our sense of adaptability and belongingness.
