One backpack. 24 countries. A design education no classroom could offer.
My first solo adventure took me to Ecuador. I didn't know exactly what to expect — but wandering through Quito, hiking Cotopaxi, and connecting with people in the Andes taught me more about curiosity than any textbook ever could. That trip sparked something that has since taken me to more than 24 countries.
Later, I spent six months traveling through Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia — redesigning a travel company's booking platform while serving as their art director and photographer. Working with nothing more than a backpack, a camera, and a laptop taught me to move fast and stay curious under pressure. Bali left the deepest mark: its craftsmanship, its rhythm, its belief that attention to detail is a form of respect.
Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, a decade in Silicon Valley has placed me at the center of the technology world — collaborating with Apple, Kaiser Permanente, and LiveRamp while staying at the edge of what's emerging in product, design, and AI.
Whether it's the streets of Porto, the markets of Southeast Asia, or a city closer to home — I'm always noticing typography, architecture, color, and the subtle details that define a place. Design exists everywhere. You just have to notice it.
