About me
I’m currently an undergraduate student at San Jose State University, studying Graphic Design and graduating in May 2025.
I am a curious creative with a passion for learning and exploring new things. This has led me to learning instruments, designing fashion, studying entomology, teaching myself about Formula One engineering, and developing a long archive of information about many many more fun topics. During my learning journey, I found myself being heavily inspired by those who have managed to create experiences that people choose that excite and inspire people. This motivation to connect people through curating experiences led me to the world of graphic design, where I am guided by my many heroes to continue the craft of designing meaningful, authentic, and timeless work that inspires myself as well as others who are around me.

Coaching and Training
Beyond design, I have spent a lot of my recent time training and coaching youth athletes. I played football for 13 years, being nationally ranked, given offers, and traveling the US just to play the sport. I really enjoy being able to teach kids little things that will take them to the next level and provide them with lessons that will help them on and off the field.

Environmentalism
I have also played a part in an SJSU environmental advocacy campaign focusing on educating students about the environmental harm of food waste and easy ways in which they can combat it. It was great being able to work towards a greater good and have real interactions with students to help them reduce their day to day food waste.

Personal Activities
I truly value the opportunity to learn and experience new things. Life is beautiful and I treat it as such spending my personal time planning photoshoots, watching F1, learning about random topics, talking about watches, or driving around looking for new food spots and experiences.
Personal Philosophy
I believe life is best lived when you are able to develop a deep interest and appreciation for the little wonders of the world. Day by day, I push to make the most out of my life. I learn new skills, try exotic foods, embrace the people I hold close to me, and take on whatever interests me in the moment.
