Ever since I was a child, I loved to look at beautiful things. First, it was my mom, then it was the flowers my grandmother grew, and then it became the pretty paintings I learned about in school. I started drawing all the beautiful things I could find, and even now my pencil guides my creative process, graphite lines leading me toward imaginative futures. Through deep research and earnest discussion, visions of opportunities grace my paper and then my screen—beautiful ideas come to life through empathy and understanding. I see you and the beauty in your dreams.
