Gathering has always been a constant in my life. When I was younger, it was tiny glass animals that I stored in my ballerina box and nintendogs that I named after my favorite desserts. Over time, my collections branched out into other ephemera: songs that I curate into monthly playlists, discontinued design magazines, reviews of the newest restaurants and bars in the city.

What started as a way to catalog my experiences has become the foundation of my design process—collecting, curating, and contextualizing. My approach to design is a way of understanding how memory and experience shape visual culture, facilitating ongoing dialogues between people and place.
