About Me.

Curiosity is what drives me. It’s what led me as a kid to disassemble just about everything I could get my little hands on and put it back together correctly… most of the time. It’s what got me into music, travel and ultimately into design. It’s the why’s, the how’s and the what if’s that fascinate and inspire me. So many scenes, cultures and movements have been created by someone simply saying “What if…” So I stay curious and always wonder “What if…”

And yes… I am a cat.

Experience.
