where it all started.
Creativity has always been a big part of my life, both in and outside of design. I started drawing when I was about five, and I recall my first medium being a set of RoseArt colored pencils that I got pretty good at using. Over the years I've experimented with everything—acrylics, brush markers, charcoal, watercolor—but these days I mostly work digitally with Procreate and Adobe Illustrator, which I’ve been using for 8+ years. That said, I still love picking up a pencil and sketchbook every now and then to keep my “real-life” skills fresh.
A small fun fact about me: Before discovering product design, I wanted to be a concept or illustration artist, and so I spent a lot of time making character art and practicing the style of studios like Riot Games and Blizzard. Although that career path didn't work out, I still enjoy making illustrations in my free time and imagining concepts on my own. If you're curious to see some of that work, here's my art portfolio that you can check out.
Here are some of my favorite illustrations I've done recently.

Photography is something that is still fairly new to me. But I recently picked up an amazing camera, the Fujifilm xT5, which captures pictures with a vintage and film-like quality that I really love. I'm still learning how to use its different presets and make my own recipes, but it's an amazing camera that I take everywhere.
My overall philosophy is to capture images with authenticity. I want to see how people live in different parts of the world and capture how they live life day-to-day.
Here are some of my recent favorites from my trip to Japan.
