I am a multi-disciplinary designer and software developer with a background in architecture and computer science. I used to study art, but I found the rigor of more technical fields to suit me well. Now art is my personal safe space. As a Third Culture Kid, it has never been easy to feel rooted. Art helps me unwind and connect to my surroundings physically and psychologically.

I really like the simplicity of the pen. I always have it with me and it allows to sketch on site spontaneously. There are no fancy techniques and tricks to distract, I can simply hone my analytical and imaginative skills. I like working with colours, but I don't have much time to practice these days.
