Hobbies:

I find peace in nature through camping and birdwatching. I also love unwinding with a good fantasy or horror story and a rotating selection of favorite teas.

Guiding Principle:

My goal is to learn something new each day. I apply that in my design process by asking questions to learn, empathize, and optimize.
