  • “Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.” ― Franz Kafka

  • Try not to overlook the simple solutions and keep in mind that sometimes what is asked for is not what is actually needed - it often falls on us to find those pain-points and uncover the real need.

  • I have a love of making things better, easier, and more beautiful in general. I get excited when a problem is placed before me because I know the solution I come up with is going to be helping someone, even if only in a small way, but also I just enjoy getting to work on new design challenges.
