Urban Design

With a keen eye for the revitalization and beautification of our cities, I hope to incorporate good urban design in every project I touch. With a focus on transportation, community outreach, and strong urbanist principles, our cities should be robust, beautiful, and safe.

Graphic Design

Born out of a desire to create original worlds and real one's reimagined; vexillology, the study and creation of flags, introduced me to the world of good graphic design. This has since expanded into officially commissioned works like seen in local municipalities and schools.
