About me

About me

Outside design, Iโ€™m usually playing a new board game, listening to podcasts, watching MasterChef, trying to cook something new, or signing up for something before fully knowing what Iโ€™m getting into. I tend to enjoy things that give me something new to figure out. Sometimes it becomes a project. Sometimes it just becomes a new obsession.
