What looks cool? What pops off the screen? What is appealing to the eye? I use that as a foundation as I consider art direction. I like to use a variety of palettes inspired by anything from cubism to drug dealer chic of the 90s.

Good design doesn't start from scratch — it's built on the foundations laid by everyone who came before. I study both art history and the thinkers who shaped how we see the world, using their insights to inform my work today. I'm a sum of those who came before me; my goal is to make them proud.

Being fly is the foundation, but serving my community is the goal. Design isn't neutral — it either reinforces inequity or helps dismantle it. I'm focused on using my skills to build tools and systems that help people, particularly those who've been underserved by technology.
