I’m a conservatory-trained violinist and self-taught designer. As a creative, I find fulfillment in making things that bring joy or add value to others, regardless of the medium.
As an average human, I'm obsessed with investigative non-fiction, dog-watching at coffee shops, baking (but not eating) desserts, mid-century modern homes, and collecting cute trinkets (smiski and stickers). I'm also a foster at the Southern California Golden Retriever Rescue.
