Design is seldom linear and so is my journey here. For some context, I started off in pre-med and research, but I've always wanted to merge my love for the humanities with my passion for the hard sciences. The tricky part? Finding a career that blended both passions – beauty with purpose, function with vision.

The moment I switched verticals, design became my Sisyphean task that I couldn't wait to get up everyday and conquer.  But unlike Sisyphus who was chained to his boulder, I was committed to my craft, not condemned to it. I truly love where design has taken me, from pushing my limits to adapt and pivot constantly, to untangle abstract problems into seemingly intuitive answers.  

But most importantly, design holds a special place in my heart because it has the capacity to change the lives of an unlimited amount of people. My initial love for medicine was rooted in my ability to help people, but the hard truth is, if you want to uplift people’s lives, healthcare was only one entry point. From the beginning, design holds the key to an infinite number of realities.

The last vignette I'd like to leave you with is Hubert Robert's Louvre in Ruins, a capriccio depicting the eponymous museum in utter desecration. And yet amidst the ruins sits a young artist opposite a single preserved statue, diligently emulating the silhouette on his canvas. Robert himself lived through the French Revolution and witnessed his own beloved Paris eviscerated and yet he chose to paint on and so will I. Change, industry shifts, and Luddism are an ever-present factor in the ledger of human civilization – artificial intelligence is just another chapter.

So, if you're also an artist/creator/maker/designer/all the above in the relentless pursuit of excellence, growth, and transformation – welcome, drop a line, and let's collaborate.
