When words stumbled, I drew.

I grew up with a speech impediment, so I learned to communicate visually. The things I was discovering were too amazing not to share, and when my words stumbled, a drawing could hold people's attention and show them how big something really was.

For as long as I can remember, I've been curious about the world around me. My imagination was always chasing whatever lay behind what I was looking at. I want to understand how things work, and that curiosity has led me down many paths. It gets bottled up, synthesized, and focused into some form of visualization. I've never been afraid of the vastness of things. In fact, it draws me in. And the thing I love most is cleaning large sets of data: the anticipation of it all coming together, patterns emerging, stories unfolding right before your eyes. It feels like the big bang going off in my head every single time.

By day, I work with data, visualization, and AI in higher education, helping turn complicated information into something people can understand and act on. This space is for the ideas that don't fit into that routine. These are topics and questions I explore for fun, with no limit to the rabbit holes to follow, the data to visualize, or the stories to tell. Some of these curiosities become artwork that can hang on a wall or be worn on a shirt, and sometimes it's just about the data. At my core, what I care about most is discovering things that inspire others to reach for their dreams, to see that there's more to them than their shortcomings, or to uncover a hidden strength.

Over the years I've learned to design with many tools across many mediums. I'm still as curious and in awe as ever, but now I have a space, and a whole new set of tools, to share what I've found. I hope something here leaves you encouraged, inspired, and hopeful. If you'd like to hold on to something you've experienced, you can visit my Printful store.

Thank you for supporting my curiosity.
