ABOUT ME
About Me
A blurb about me.
Some would say that I am soft spoken and contemplative. I would say that I am thoughtful,
inquisitive and deeply analytical. A creative problem-solver with more than seven years of
delivering design solutions with a breadth of training spanning architectural principles to
web development. A personal philosophy revolving around the idea that curiosity, adaptability,
continued learning and observation are vital to being an effective problem solver/designer/developer
and a happy person.
My interests gravitate towards activities where my imagination is allowed to lead and discover new paths. I enjoy drawing, scifi/fantasy, comics/bande dessinee, animation, classic chambara samurai films, architecture, and art in all its forms. I strive towards being an effective collaborator and seek to connect and pool skills with fellow like-minded tech creatives.

The love of drawing has been with me a long time. There is something
appealing about creating with a simple motion of the hand and
drawing instrument that inspires me. Whether it is with a pencil, stylus, or a mouse, I like to draw.
Below are some of images from my personal projects.
