From dancing across stages to crocheting the next fashion trend to turning my hobby of bead embroidery into an educational game, creating is how I move through life. Whether professional or personal, I am always immersed in a new creative project.

I love curating moments that leave lasting impact and turn the ordinary into meaningful experiences.

My Youtube “Watch later” section is filled with how-tos - how-to sew a patchwork tee, embroider with beads, boost productivity, or create mixed media art. Every tutorial represents a hat I want to wear as a creative. I am not limited by what I know, rather energized by what I can still discover. This growth mindset allows me to imagine & innovate beyond what is currently available. Designing lays at the intersection of my passion for creating and my love of learning!
