Hey there!

I'm an adventurer at heart—I love to explore, learn, and grow through my hobbies and experiences. As an engineer who pivoted to design, I bring a trial-and-error mindset to life and constantly ask myself, "How Might We (HMW) fail faster to learn faster?"

Here's a dive into my life behind the scenes.

Mixed Media Art

My most long-standing hobby: creating art that spans across materials, forms, and disciplines.

Both a creative outlet and a series of problem-solving challenges, these pieces are ultimately made by letting my inner child loose.

Pottery

I dragged my brother with me to take classes over the summer, and it became my weekly rewind ritual!

This cup didn't turn out well :'(

My new water tumbler

Flower vase!

Bouldering

My brother dragged me to this one. He bought me climbing shoes and taught me a lot (thanks Silas)! I'd say I'm a hopeful V2/3 climber. Now I'm the one dragging people to climb!

I like this photo because I look more muscular than I really am

This is my friend Hanji!

Skateboarding

I love skating in the evening and feeling the breeze against my skin. Sometimes I'll dilly dally at skate parks.

Very focused…

Kitten foster siblings: Meet Miss Finster and Mikey!!

More fun!

I don't get to engage in these activities as often, but I have a lot of fun with them.

Boxing; gloves are stinky…
