How I think and create

Beyond my work, these are the parts of me that fuel curiosity, creativity, and growth.

Scrappy maker

Using what’s around me to build cool things

Scrappy Maker — a sewn bucket hat, a bed frame repurposed into a shelf, a sticky note dress, a DIY camera tripod, and a lathed bowl

Failure embracer

Learning from mistakes and pushing past them. Except poached eggs… haven’t cracked those yet

Failure Embracer — wheel-throwing accidents, a cardboard prototype, and a first attempt at a poached egg

Community builder

Bringing people together and making space for ideas to grow

Community Builder — a curated creatives dinner in LA, an Afro-Panamanian cooking class, a LavaLab demo night, and a beach day
