Design is my major, but I’ve always loved experimenting with other art forms—painting is my favorite. I’m drawn to bright colors, painterly brush strokes, and abstraction, often finding inspiration in the memories and experiences of my childhood. I love the tactile, tangible nature of painting—the way color, texture, and form can be layered, blended, and manipulated in real time. Painting stretches the way I think and problem-solve, expanding the realm of possibilities and encouraging me to approach design with curiosity and openness.

Working across different mediums has shaped how I see the world and tackle creative projects. It’s taught me to notice details, take risks, and bring a more thoughtful, layered perspective to everything I create.
