A LIVING ARCHIVE
OF DESIGN, FILM,
WRITING &
EXPERIMENTS
A secondary collection of product design studies, visual systems, essays, videos, film projects, and process work — built as a wider map of my creative practice beyond the main portfolio.
SELECTED
SIDE WORK
Smaller projects, prototypes, and experiments that show how I think across interfaces, storytelling, systems, and visual culture.
I'm a RISD-trained product designer exploring human-centered systems through interfaces, storytelling, visual culture, and emerging technology. This archive collects the side projects, studies, fragments, and experiments that don't belong in a tightly edited case-study portfolio — but still shape how I think and make.
