About Me 
Currently - Patagonia Product Designer I
Technical Sport & Sportswear 

A multidisciplinary designer with a left-of-center perspective and the son of immigrants - where adapting, observing, and moving between worlds became second nature, shaping how I approach design. Drawn to the spaces between disciplines, where design becomes a conversation, ideas take shape in unexpected ways, and form follows feeling as much as function
