Design Philosophy

My approach to design is heavily influenced by my studies in experimental art, finding non-linear ways of storytelling through holistic experience design. I am most passionate about the use of classical mediums that break traditional molds to illustrate something complex, intangible and new, unbound by previous limitations in thought or execution. My experience working in clinical personality assessment drives my process for research and analysis, to establish patterns, themes and insights from expression that goes beyond self-report to translate abstract metrics into data driven hypotheses.
