Statement

I was almost an Accountant. Thankfully, before I started school, I took a trip to Turkey. During this trip, my eyes were opened to culture, art and design. I spent the entire time sketching, inspired by Turkey’s history and architecture. Then I came to LA and found my passion for design.

After two years at Art Center, I was still unsure of where my passion lived. In search of clarity, I went back to the very activity that led me to where I am today, TRAVELING. In South East Asia, I found myself talking to other travelers, discovering their experiences, documenting them with sketches and napkin mock-ups.

I have come to realize that many of my ideas have been strongly fueled by my adventures, my travels, and experiences of being in different cultures.

I’m really excited to share my outlook on the world and hearing of your experiences.
