Designing, surfing, hiking, travel, photography & video
These are just some of my passions and interests that help keep me creative and motivated.
I share my passion for design with my interests, such as travel or being in the ocean – I feel it keeps my creativity flowing. Discovering new ideas and perspectives on problems really takes a healthy dose of fear and adrenaline. I thrive when being outside my comfort zone and for me – it’s only helped me grow more as a designer and a person.
