See the world not for what it is, but what it can be.

MY MANTRA

From the beginning.

Ever since I was a kid, I've had two true passions; sports and design. My childhood consisted of playing outside during the day, and drawing in my sketchbook at night.


In 2016, I decided to put my design skills to the test and start my own clothing brand. I called it Rhea Apparel - a brand dedicated to spreading environmental awareness.

Discovering Graphic Design.

Not long after I discovered Adobe Photoshop, and was immediately hooked.


Youtube became my new best friend. I would spend hours learning the newest design trends and trying to implement them into my own projects.


A fork in the road.

Post-college, I faced a crossroads. While I loved design, I also excelled in golf, and after careful consideration I chose to pursue the sport professionally. The years of commitment I had invested in the game made it a path I couldn't ignore.

Discovering UX Design = Life turned upside down.

Two years into my chase of the PGA Tour, I discovered UX Design and it captivated me. So much so, I decided to quit golf, further my education, and dive head first into the world of UX and Product Design.


I'm currently a Visual Designer at Vital Design, where I craft visually stunning websites and marketing materials for a diverse range of global clients.

What I do for fun.

Outside of work, you can find me refining my UI skills painting, and working on my passion project, Hydromag - a small-batch clothing company aimed at helping small business owners share their stories with the world.


When I need a break and have to clear my mind, I enjoy surfing, painting, or golfing with my friends.

I'm a multidisciplinary designer who loves creating meaningful and impactful solutions that serve my communities. Through a blend of UX/UI design and strong business acumen, I aim to craft stories through digital & physical products and experiences.

I see the world not for what it is, but what it can be.
