What Inspires Me
When I'm not coding or designing, you can find me hiking outdoors, kayaking with friends, or exploring new creative outlets. These hobbies fuel my passion for discovery and innovation, which I channel into every project I take on. I believe in lifelong learning and consistently seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills.
