Still finding myself.

“I have run, I have crawled 
I have scaled these city walls 
These city walls 
Only to be with you

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for 
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for…” U2

An advocate for human-centered design, he is passionate about making a meaningful impact through his work.
