I've always loved working with my hands, whether it was drawing, sculpting, or even just putting things together. Design allows me to do the same thing but also utilizes my creative thinking to solve problems. I get to work with creatives and develop solutions to their problems. Collaborating with new people inspires my way of thinking and contributes to the way I solve problems in my own life.

I want to lead the next generation of designers and pay it forward just like my mentors, advisors and teachers did for me. Knowledge improves over time when it is taught. Something become outdated, new things are acquired, things always evolve. I think teaching allows that evolution to make the most impact.
