Beyond the Screen

A few things I enjoy when I'm not designing data platforms.

Orchestrating Chaos

I don't just play games. I build worlds. Being a Dungeon Master has become one of my favorite creative outlets.

Running a campaign means managing different personalities and guiding a story that evolves in unexpected ways. One of our campaign series resonated strongly with the community, reaching over 486,000 viewers and 33,000 likes.

Drawing Worlds

Illustration is my way of thinking visually. I enjoy drawing stylized characters and imaginary worlds, often inspired by Japanese illustration.

It gives me a space to explore ideas more freely than product design usually allows.

The 1% Improvement

From the fast focus of a table tennis rally to the quiet precision of archery, I enjoy activities that reward patience and practice.

They remind me that meaningful progress rarely comes from dramatic leaps, but from getting a little better every day.

Chief Curiosity Officer

My life has always been shaped by the dogs who share it with me. My late dog Rip taught me a lot about loyalty and companionship.

Today Nova continues that tradition, joining me on hikes, road trips, and small everyday adventures.
