designer by trade, storyteller for fun. i work across visual and interaction design, with a background in human computer interaction and machine learning. i enjoy designing products, telling stories through video and photography, and i’m a little addicted to lego (the plural of lego is lego). otherwise, you’d find me catching flights, snowboarding or side questing. here are some random things i made on the internet.
