Hourglass
I am an emotional and empathetic person who finds strength in feeling deeply and connecting with others. Music has always been my outlet for expression and understanding, teaching me to embrace vulnerability, channel emotion into creativity, and tell stories that resonate. From singing classic rock with my dad to creating designs that move people, I have learned that the best work, like the best music, comes from authenticity and heart.
