How My Brain Works
A loose but accurate processThe Spiral
I collect way too many references, get overwhelmed, then pretend I planned that. Somewhere in the chaos, one idea refuses to leave me alone. That's the one.
The Commitment
I pick a direction and go all in — grids, palettes, fifteen versions of the same headline. This is the part where I talk to myself out loud a concerning amount.
The Polish
Everything gets nudged by two pixels until it feels right, which is a feeling I cannot explain but will absolutely defend in a meeting.

The Long Version
Career + life, uneditedWhere it started
Decided fairly early that "arranging things nicely" could be a job, not just a personality trait.
6+ years in the field
Branding, editorial, illustration, print — enough different formats to never get bored, and enough deadlines to never get complacent.

Playing cards, catalogs, campaigns, and the occasional argument about whether a mascot should hold a bag or a burger.
Outside work
Painting jackets, taking photos, drowning my heart in breakdowns (the metal kind, not the emotional kind — though some days it's both), and losing entire evenings to video games. Balance is a myth and I've made peace with that.
