SOME INTERESTS OF MINE

Bouldering, gaming, cars, film, animation, VFX, philosophy, psychology. All this and more shape how I think about challenges, craft, and people.

Problems, boulders, games, cars, film, animation, and of course design.

LEARNINGS OVER THE YEARS

Design As Play

If there is no sense of play or joy within the
process, there is no delight in the output.

Results-driven

Every dollar counts, and so designs must
be informed and goal-oriented.

Function, then Form

It must work as we need it to, in order
to then be presented beautifully.

Good Over Gains

Lead with your message and ideal, and
then rationalize viabilities towards it.

Not So Silly Hats

Take on the hats and opportunities as
needed, whatever it takes to solve the problem.

How I work + how I think.

Learnings over the years

What is Design

Design isn't decoration. It's purpose meets alignment. Every element should belong to the same system, serving the same intent.

Function, then Form

It must work as needed before it can be expressed beautifully. Clarity and usefulness come first. Form gives it presence.

Design as Play

Curiousity and experimentation are essential to discovery. Without play, there are less mistakes and less opportunity for happy accidents.

Results are Proof

Design exists to move something forward — understanding, trust, or action. Great design creates measurable change.

Lead with Intent

Start with what matters, then design everything to support it. Meaning gives direction.

Not So Silly Hats

Good design isn’t limited by role or title. It means taking responsibility for the outcome, whatever it takes and wherever it comes from.
