Hello! Welcome to my website.

If you like to learn, we’ll get along. In my free time, I’m taking classes or in a coffee shop, writing in the margin of a book.

My most recent projects include an interactive language learning lesson, an animation to explain passive solar heating, and a website to help people learn basic photography terms.

Below are some of the things that guide and inspire me.
