Giving In

GIVING IN is a short collection of poems accompanied by my drawings. It wanders through seasons of wanting, dreaming, resting, and knowing. It is a tender celebration of life’s contradictions. Laughter is placed next to grief, love next to doubt, growth next to a nap. I try to answer the question of what happens when we decide to finally give in to these mysteries, and what seems to give back in return.

MuseFlow

MuseFlow is a music education platform that makes the experience of practicing piano feel more like play and less like work. It aims to build musical fluency through sight-reading while also utilizing AI to adjust piano learning to skill level. I designed the MVP and website, and am now working on a self-directed rebrand project (stay tuned).
