Identity design, from NYC, for the world.
I wish more designers had the clarity and conviction to answer this.
What belief is at the core of your design practice?
The way we see is what we offer. The courage to reimagine is the value we bring. It’s why designer founders build differently, and why great entrepreneurs want designers in the room. Perception shapes outcomes and vision creates new futures.
For the design community to truly flourish here, we must move beyond chasing speed, validation, or earnings. Design is a practice, an intentional pursuit. Instead of infatuating over something new, fast, or viral, ask if it’s thoughtful, inevitable, and true.

To those in the arena building the future...
