IĀ am a designer at heart. I fell in love with design 12 years ago and have been pursing growth and knowledge within the design space since that love affair began.

ā¤ļø Life
When I'm not obsessing about design I am probably playing video games, reading, watching movies, collecting vinyl toys or hiking. I live with my wife, dog and two cats in a small town outside of Los Angeles California.
