Creative Work

The same eye for composition, proportion, and detail that drives the UX work — expressed in watercolor and sugar.

Watercolors

Watercolor rewards the same discipline that UX work requires: knowing when to stop. Every mark is committed. There are no undo steps. The medium demands decisions made with confidence and lived with completely — which turns out to be good practice for design.

Cake & Pastry Design

35+ years of professional pastry work — from competitive showpieces to wedding cakes designed around a couple's story. Every piece began the same way any design project does: a client conversation, a set of constraints, and a vision that had to be translated from concept to something real and beautiful under pressure.

The Through Line

Same Discipline. Different Medium.

"The craft changes. The process doesn't. Understand what's being asked for. Translate it. Execute it without excuses."

Whether the canvas is watercolor paper, a tiered cake, or a Figma file — the work starts the same way. A conversation. A set of constraints. A vision that belongs to someone else and has to be made real with precision. What 35 years of creative practice taught me is that the discipline of craft doesn't transfer — it already is the discipline. UX design wasn't a career change. It was a vocabulary change.
