Tasty food needs lots of spices. A song sounds good with many instruments. Websites are the same. A page transition that feels like turning paper or a cursor that casts a soft ripple... On their own they’re just small gimmicks you see and forget, but put them together and they become parts of a whole experience you remember. I think the symphony of many parts working together is what gives a website its unique feeling.

I care about every little detail, every word and every click. I love working with people who are unapologetic about what they think and who they are. Together, we make subtle and not so subtle brands and web experiences that are a reflection of the people it was made by and for.

It wasn’t about building the biggest or the most beautiful castle. It was the little things that captivated me and how they looked when put together - flowers by the windows or stories that nobody but me knew about. On their own those details sound insignificant, but once put together, they made up a world I wanted to explore. I think this memory shapes how I work today - lots of small details, brought together into one cohesive visual experience.

Ever since I was little I’ve been creating narratives and worlds. The first thing I remember making was a Minecraft mod that let me summon player-like villagers with unique names. I built cities around them and wrote stories for each one. I’d spend entire afternoons after school obsessing over the smallest details. It was my first memory of creating an experience that I loved exploring myself.
