Collaboration Process
Collaborate with a dedicated partner – every step of the way, from start to finish.
1. Consultation
During our initial calls, we'll discuss your project needs, wishlist, and more. I will help flesh out your ideas, build an action plan, and go over potential design solutions we can explore for your need.
2. Design Proposal
I will propose specific designs using wireframes and/or prototypes, collect your input, user test where possible, and iterate as necessary. We will work together to align and arrive at the final design to build.
3. Development
Once we have documented timelines and requirements, I will architect and build the product accordingly, with status checkpoints scheduled ahead of time to show development progress and solicit input.
4. Delivery & Support
Once development is complete, I will showcase the final product and gain your confirmation and sign-off. As an established partner, I'll be available for support and consultation on future needs you may have.

Personal Projects
Creative drive fueled by exploration, experience, and expression.
Places Explored is a personal web project where I document and share
favorite spots explored across LA and Japan.
What first felt like an overwhelmingly foreign city with endless sprawl has gradually become my home base over the course of nearly 15 years, now full of personally meaningful places scattered across the region. In this project, I share my favorite neighborhoods, LA institutions, and surprisingly abundant nature around the city.
🌴 LASleepless cities with packed with culture and good food, a countryside full of castles, temples, shrines and pristine nature, all connected by a world-famous network of efficient trains, Japan has been a travel destination that keeps me coming back for more. Follow along on my cross-country adventures logged in this project.
