Other Interests

When I'm not designing, I'm playing guitar, usually indie folk or Christian rock. Music keeps me inspired and grounded. I'm also into retro computing, vintage tech, and electronics. I enjoy building, tinkering, and figuring out how things work. Curious by nature, I'm always learning something new and chasing knowledge wherever it leads.
