Before you tell me your story,
here is mine.
Multidisciplinary By DesignI’m a multidisciplinary creative with 15+ years of experience turning products, services, and ideas into visual stories people can understand.
My background spans graphic design, photography, CGI, brand development, social content, and creative strategy. I’ve worked across the entire creative process, from the first idea and photoshoot to production, campaign rollout, and final delivery.
I LEARNED TO ADAPT EARLY.
At six years old, I woke up to complete silence.
The night before, I could hear. Then nothing. I had been born with CMV, a virus that had quietly been taking my hearing, and one morning it was simply gone.
Months of uncertainty followed before my family found the cochlear implant. Six months later, I heard my own footsteps for the first time.
SOMETIMES YOU
MOVE FORWARD
WITHOUT KNOWING THE OUTCOME.
Years later, while preparing for my second cochlear implant, doctors discovered a complication that made surgery unusually risky. I was warned that moving forward could affect my ability to walk.
I chose to move forward anyway.
I walked out of the hospital the next day, and my case eventually became part of a research study that helped doctors better understand something they hadn't encountered before.
UNCERTAINTY TAUGHT ME HOW TO
MAKE DECISIONS WITHOUT HAVING EVERY ANSWER.
That lesson followed me into creative work: stay curious, make the best decision with the information available, and keep adapting as the environment changes.
AUTHENTICITY
CHANGED HOW I LEAD.
Another part of my story was unfolding in parallel.
Growing up in a deeply religious environment, I knew from a young age that I was gay and spent years keeping that part of myself hidden. I built a life that looked right from the outside.
In 2021, I finally came out.
It was one of the hardest and most clarifying decisions I've ever made.
Living authentically changed how I lead. It deepened my belief that great teams are built on trust, psychological safety, and the freedom to bring different perspectives to the table.
Inclusive design
isn't a feature.
It's a foundation.
THE THINGS THAT
MAKE US
DIFFERENT
ARE OFTEN
THE THINGS THAT
MAKE US
EFFECTIVE.
Today, I'm a dad, advocate, photographer, designer, creative leader, and lifelong problem solver.
Those identities aren't separate from my work. They're part of how I approach it: with curiosity, empathy, resilience, and a willingness to see problems from more than one perspective.
