I am a self-taught artist with interests spanning many mediums. Whether through acrylic painting or piano composition, I have always enjoyed expressing myself creatively and hope that I can help others do the same.

Art is a way of making sense of the world - the same way that science is. Marrying the two allows me to explore the human experience with a richness and depth that I could not with only one. Much of my visual art reflects a deep-seated curiosity for what makes things meaningful, and for exploring the liminal space where beauty and pain mingle.

Design is not a term exclusive to the arts - design is used in engineering, architecture, product development, and research. Good design is about more than just aesthetics; good design is about communication, usability, information, and organization. See some products I designed for my own projects, and designs I've done for other organizations and brands.
