My initial interests in graphic design were skate brands, motorsport liveries, music covers, and sports branding. That evolved into studying firms like 8vo, The Designers Republic, Philippe Apeloig, Chris Do and Jon Contino. Now in my current stage I continue to find visuals that get me excited and motivated to create. The Make Think Code Lab at PNCA gave me a space to experiment and discover. Sharing visuals that come out of here get me excited about what I get to find in the future.

STOP PASSING
THE AUX
The inspiration for this app came from the problematic process of navigating, sharing, and playing music while driving. We all remember passing the aux cord and being in charge of music. But what happens when we aren't in charge of the music? How can I save the music someone else was playing? How can I add music to the queue without passing the phone around? What if I'm not on the aux cord? Do people even use aux cords anymore?
Process
I like to move fast to run into as many problems as possible as early as possible. Working this way reveals solutions in a natural way. The user won't have to make mistakes because I will have already made them.
