I make things because just using technology has never felt like enough. I want to reshape how it’s experienced—to turn it from something you use into something you feel. My medium isn’t just code, design, or sound—it’s interaction itself.

I care about details because little details make big things come out. Function should feel alive—not just useful, but vibrant, responsive, human. Technology is my material, but art is the process: exploration, reframing, showing new ways of seeing.

I’ve always been pulled between systems thinking and aesthetic sensitivity. I design like an engineer, but I obsess like an artist. I look at people like Bret Victor, John Maeda, Casey Reas, and Ben Fry—people who treat software as a cultural medium—and I see the lineage I want to continue.

My work moves between order and chaos—finding clarity without losing play. I’m drawn to the moments when mistakes become discoveries, when precision gives way to intuition. That’s where technology feels most alive: not in control, but in conversation.
