As a kid, I was obsessed with arranging children's books by the color and thickness, only to topple them over and start anew. I reveled upon the discovery that even the slightest change in composition or color scheme lead to a completely different storytelling.
Now, I want to unravel designs that illuminate the power of storytelling. For every pixel I push, my aim is to tell a story that celebrates the full spectrum of emotions that makes us feel alive.
