Personal Statement
Einstein had put it in the best way - as our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of unknown surrounding it.
​
As I learn & grow each day, I am humbled by the expanse of what lies out there, and what lies within.
​
I see design the same way... The farther I reach, the more there is to discover, more to connect & more to interpret. I see design as a multifaceted entity with each element being mutually inclusive of another. The closer I look, the boundaries between disciplines appear more blurred. It is the dance we do of calibrations & balances, of inventions & discoveries, of being found & lost to arrive at an answer of inherent beauty.
​
In an everlasting pursuit of beauty, meaning & alignment - within & without - lies my peace.
