Whether it’s experiencing it, listening to it (ask me about vinyl collection), playing guitar, bass, or ukulele, it’s definitely on the weekend agenda. Most importantly I love spending time with my amazing wife, a designer herself, and our two amazing pups, a Chihuahua named Julian and a beautiful brindle mixed named Tigre.

Queued up: I enjoy interview podcasts very much when I'm on the road but not when I'm designing. My queue is always filled with music and, ``what's`` playing depends on a bunch of different variables; the season, temperature, time of the day, and type of project I'm working on, so each day is different!

Weekend Vibes: I've always been an early riser, and weekends are no exception. A morning neighborhood stroll with our dogs is a must. I like to do something healthy and positive for myself each day of the week that usually includes meditation, cardio, hot yoga, or weights.. After that I'm ready for anything!

Weekend vibes: On weekends you'll find me consuming or creating some form of storytelling: books, movies, music, visual art, and more. I also try to take in all that San Diego has to offer—from enjoying the great outdoors to visiting local businesses. Last but not least, I cheer for the LA Rams and try to pet as many dogs as possible!
