I am a child of two artists, formed in multiple and diverse cultural backgrounds. I enjoy discovering real people's needs and solving problems in innovative ways. I firmly believe that good design can and should improve people’s lives and the world we inhabit. I utilize a wide array of analytic and creative tools to arrive to innovative and aesthetic solutions.
