(About) Me.


I’m a recognized and hands-on Creative Lead, currently contributing to Android XR at Google, passionate about visual storytelling, championing innovation, and nurturing collaborative creativity.

Drawing on over 14 years of experience across studio, agency, and tech, my role has consistently involved leading and contributing to teams of designers, 3D artists, and developers, helping navigate projects from initial concept to successful delivery.



Beyond my work, I find balance and inspiration in nature. As John Muir said, "The mountains are calling, and I must go."
