Beyond Design

Back to silence

Nature is my reset. Camping under starlit skies, hiking through misty trails, swimming in cold lakes, or paddleboarding across still water—these are the moments where thinking softens into clarity.
Movement fuels my creativity. Cycling Vancouver’s seawall, skiing fresh snow, or wandering with no destination keeps my mind open and curious.
Travel feeds the same instinct. Every place, face, and story is a reminder that people shape their worlds differently.

Everyday Experiments

At home, creativity takes smaller, everyday forms. I bake sourdough, collect stickers, and treat my nails as tiny design experiments.
And my cats—expert teachers in rest and play—constantly remind me to notice the small joys. These moments keep me grounded and return me to a simple truth: design isn’t just about screens, but about paying attention to life as it unfolds.

My hobbies are my teachers. Nature reminds me to breathe, people remind me to care, and stories—whether on stage or on screen—remind me why life’s little moments are worth noticing.
